Stress can cause a virus to switch from the lytic cycle to the lysogenic cycle.

In the lysogenic cycle, the virus uses the host cell to make new viral parts.

In the lytic cycle, the virus hides in the host's DNA.

Best answer would be B.

Zayden Farley · Answer 2

The correct answer will be option-In the lysogenic cycle, the virus uses the host cell to make new viral parts.

Explanation:

The bacteriophage virus infects the host cell by two ways: the lysogenic cycle and the lytic cycle.

In the lytic cycle, the bacteriophage injects its genetic material into the host, uses its replication machinery and replicate and kills the host cells due to lysis of the bacteria. in the lysogenic cycle, the virus integrates its genetic material into the host genetic material and forms the prophage. this prophase is passed on to offspring and gets replicated with the bacterial genome. this genetic material is used to form new viral parts like capsid and others.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
