When a virus infects a bacterial cell, often new viruses are assembled and released when the host bacterial cell is lysed. If these new viruses go on to infect new bacterial cells the host cells may not be lysed. What is the most plausible explanation for this?

    Answer: The virus has entered the genome of the bacterial cell and is in the lysogenic stage

    Explanation:

    The virus infected bacterial cell exhibits two types of life cycle one is lytic cycle and the other one is lysogenic cycle.

    The lytic cycle can be defined as the phase when the virus infected bacterial cell ruptures and the virus comes out of the host cell.

    The lysogenic cycle can be defined as the process in which the virus infected bacterial cell does not burst and virus does not comes out of the bacterial cell.

    The condition here is lysogenic cycle in which the virus is replicating inside the bacterial cell.
