Lytic Cycle
A viral reproductive cycle in which the virus replicates and lyses the host cell, releasing new viruses.

New cards
Steps of the Lytic Cycle
- Attachment: Virus binds to the host cell.
- Penetration: Virus injects its genetic material into the host cell.
- Replication: Viral DNA replicates using the host's cellular machinery.
- Assembly: New viral particles are assembled.
- Lysis: The host cell bursts, releasing the newly made viruses.

Lysogenic Cycle
A viral reproductive cycle in which the viral DNA is incorporated into the host cell's DNA and replicates along with it without causing cell lysis.

Steps of the Lysogenic Cycle
- Attachment: Virus binds to the host cell.
- Penetration: Virus injects its genetic material into the host cell.
- Integration: Viral DNA integrates into the host cell's chromosome, becoming a prophage.
- Replication: The prophage is replicated along with the host cell's DNA during cell division.
- Induction (optional): Under certain conditions, the prophage can excise from the host chromosome and enter the lytic cycle.
