Question

In the lytic cycle of a bacteriophage, the host DNA is
(a) Replicated
(b) Turned on by removal of a protein coat
(c) Digested into its nucleotides
(d) Turned off by a protein coat

please help and explain what the answer could be.​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the lytic cycle, the viral DNA exists as a separate free floating molecule within the bacterial cell, and replicates separately from the host bacterial DNA, whereas in the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA is located within the host DNA. This is the key difference between the lytic and lysogenic (bacterio)phage cycles.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is-"In the lytic cycle of a bacteriophage, the host DNA is"is-

(a) Replicated

Explanation:

In the lytic cycle, the viral DNA exists as a separate free floating molecule within the bacterial cell, and replicates separately from the host bacterial DNA.

The lytic cycle is named because of the process of lysis, which occurs when a virus has infected a cell,  and replicate new virus particles, and bursts through the cell membrane. which releases the new virions, or virus complexes, so they can infect more cells.

lytic cycle of bacteriophage

The phage injects its double-stranded DNA genome into the cytoplasm of the bacterium: Phage DNA is copied, and phage genes are expressed to make proteins, such as capsid proteins. DNA copying and protein synthesis

The lytic cycle, which is known  as the "reproductive cycle" of the bacteriophage, is a six-stage cycle. The six stages are:

1. attachment,
2. penetration,
3. transcription,
4. biosynthesis,
5. maturation, and
6. lysis.
