Question

I need an short explanation about Lysogenic cycle

Open in App
Solution

The lysogenic cycle is a method by which a virus can replicate its DNA using a host cell. Typically, viruses can undergo two types of DNA replication: the lysogenic cycle or the lytic cycle. In the lysogenic cycle, the DNA is only replicated, not translated into proteins. In the lytic cycle, the DNA is multiplied many times and proteins are formed using processes stolen from the bacteria. While the lysogenic cycle can sometimes happen in eukaryotes, prokaryotes or bacteria are much better understood examples.
