How does a lytic infection differ from a lysogenic infection?

in the lytic cycle the virus replicates and kills(lyses) the host cell but in the lysogenic cycle, viral DNA is just incorporated into the host genome where it stays and is passed on to following generations.

So a lytic infection kills the cells and would be a more severe infection compared to a lysogenic one.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
