|
|
What is the Lytic Cycle?
|
Is where the virus imports its DNA into the cell and hijacks the nucleus and synthesizes its materials into it making it produce more of the virus until the cell itself burst then the cycle repeats.

|
|
|
What is a Lysogenic Cyle?
|
A virus cycle in which the virus injects its DNA into the nucleus DNA and when the DNA does mytosis its DNA is replicated and will enter the Lytic cycle if a small change happens.
