Avirus cannot reproduce on its own. viral dna or rna must enter the host cell and direct the cell to make the materials needed to produce more viral particles. there are two pathways a virus may take: the lytic or lysogenic pathway.
how are the lytic and lysogenic viral pathways alike?
a) they both have a prolonged period of dormancy.
b) they both eventually cause the death of the host cell.
c) in both cases, viral dna is replicated when the host cell undergoes fission.
d) in both cases, viral dna is integrated into the host dna for a period of time.
