Select the best answer for the question.

16. For a virus, what advantages and disadvantages does the lytic

lifecycle have compared with the lysogenic lifecycle?

A. The lytic lifecycle allows viruses to reproduce more quickly but

also kills the host and forces the virus to find a new host cell.

B. The lytic lifecycle allows a virus to wait until conditions are

optimal before reproducing but also gives the host cell more time to

detect and fight the virus.

C. The lytic lifecycle allows viruses to reproduce when the host cell

reproduces, spreading to its daughter cells, but also gives the host cell

more time to detect and fight the virus.

D. The lytic lifecycle ensures that the virus won't be detected by the

host cell but also kills the host and forces the virus to find a new host

    The Answer is likely A.

    Explanation:

    The Lysogenic cycle allows the virus to "live" within the genome of the cell and there it wait for the optimal time to replicate. The lytic cylce, allows the virus to replicate faster but it does kill the host.
