how does a virus replicate itself
it get absobed by the host cell, then penetrates the host cell to get to its ore, then starts to produce the pieces of the virus, then the virus matures and is built, then its released

how do bacteriphages replicate through lytic
the bacteriphage injects DNA into the bacterial cell and replicates, forming new virus particles and then released

how do bacteriphages replicate through lysogenic
they inject the cell with DNA, the DNA then integrates into the host DNA, then the cell becomes temperate or prophage, then the cell replicates eventually entering the lytic cycle, and then cells are released
