what is the difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycles? what are the steps?

Expert Solution

Ans. In lytic cycle, the bacteriophage replication occurs independently inside bacterial cell and reproduce many viral particles. In case of lysogenic cycle, viral DNA integrates into bacterial genome and replicates along with the host bacterial DNA and reproduce.

Steps in lytic cycle: Bacteriophage binds to the bacterial cell (host) surface -----> Bacteriophage DNA enters into the bacterial cell ------> Digestion of host DNA -----> New phase DNA formed by utilizing nucleotides from digested bacrerial DNA-----> Transcription and translation of phage DNA producing phage proteins ------> new phage particles assembled and lysis of bactrial cell by phage encoded enzyme ----> New phase particles released and infect new bacterial cells to perform lytic cycle again.

Steps in lysogenic cycle: Bacteriophage binds to the bacterial cell (host) surface -----> Phage DNA enters the host cell ----> Integration of phage DNA into the host DNA ----> Replication of bacterial chromosome with integrated phage DNA and cells continue division for many cycles producing many bacterial cells with the integrated phage DNA (prophage DNA) ------>Under stress condition, the phage DNA (prophage DNA) gets excised from the daughter bacterial chromosomes and enter lytic cycle infecting new bacteria.

The phages can reproduce through lysogenic or lytic cycles. In the lysogenic cycle, the phage DNA inserts into their host genome. The phage DNA remains inactive inside the bacterial genome and get replicated when bacterial DNA replicates. Identify the statement as True or false? A phage is a virus that infects plants. The phage that undergoes a lysogenic cycle is called a virulent phage. An integrated phage is called a prophage. A phage that reproduces strictly through the lytic cycle...

How does bacteriophage lambda "decide" whether to enter the lytic or lysogenic cycle when it infects a bacterium and how does it execute the decision? Which of the statements below are correct? a. In a population of healthy and vigorously growing bacteria cells it propagates lytically. b. In a population of poorly growing bacteria cells it propagates lysogenically. c. In the lysogenic state, the prophage genome is inactive (repressed). d. In the lytic phase, the phage genes for reproduction are...
