In bacteriophage lambda, the choice between the lytic and lysogenic pathways is often thought of as a sort of race between the production of cro protein and production of ci protein. what pathway would likely predominate in a mutant in which ci was overexpressed relative to a wild-type virus? in a mutant in which ci was underexpressed relative to a wild-type virus?

What pathway would likely predominate in a mutant in which ci was overexpressed relative to a wild-type virus? - Lytic pathway; when the virus infects the cell, that is, it gets into it, clones or forms thousands of viruses and then breaks the capsid and continues parasitizing other cells to follow the same procedure.in a mutant in which ci was underexpressed relative to a wild-type virus? Lysogenic; that is when the genetic material of the virus is coupled to the genetic material of the cell, then the cells b, daughters of this, will be possessors of the virus (genetically).
