In which cycle does the virus replicate and burst out of the host cell?A. LyticB. LatencyC. CytopathicD. Lysogenic

To determine in which cycle the virus replicates and bursts out of the host cell, we need to understand the different options provided: A. Lytic, B. Latency, C. Cytopathic, and D. Lysogenic.

1. Lytic Cycle: In the lytic cycle, the virus enters the host cell, takes over its machinery, replicates its genetic material, assembles new virus particles, and then bursts out of the host cell, causing cell lysis. This results in the destruction of the host cell.

2. Latency: Latency refers to a period of inactivity or dormancy in which the virus remains within the host cell without actively replicating or causing any harm. During this phase, the virus may integrate its genetic material into the host cell's genome and remain dormant until triggered to enter the lytic cycle.

3. Cytopathic Cycle: The term "cytopathic" refers to the ability of a virus to cause damage or pathology to the host cell. However, there is no specific cycle known as the "cytopathic cycle" in which the virus replicates and bursts out of the host cell.

4. Lysogenic Cycle: In the lysogenic cycle, the virus integrates its genetic material into the host cell's genome and remains dormant without causing any harm or actively replicating. The integrated viral DNA is called a prophage. The virus can remain in this state for an extended period, and under certain conditions, it can be triggered to enter the lytic cycle, where it replicates and bursts out of the host cell.

Based on the given options, the correct answer is A. Lytic cycle, as this is the specific cycle in which the virus replicates and bursts out of the host cell, causing cell lysis.
