Summary Introduction

The virus replication can occur either as lytic or lysogenic pathway. In lytic cycle, the host cell membrane gets destructed after the formation of new virus. The lytic virus replication is best studied in T4 bacteriophage. This virus infects the host cell by attachment and then it makes a hole in the host cell membrane to insert the genetic material into the host cell.

Students have asked these similar questions
How is host cell lysis triggered after bacteriophage invasion? What are the outcomes to bacterial host physiology if the bacteriophage undergoes the lysogenic cycle?
Bacteriophage T4 lacks its own RNA polymerase.How do T4 genes get expressed or converted to mRNA?What host barriers must be broken before release ofvirions from the host cell?
What is the difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycle of bacteriophages? In the lysogenic cycle, the phage DNA integrates itself into the host genome after penetration, and continues to biosynthesis when conditions change The host cell is not killed in the lysogenic cycle The lytic cycle occurs in the nucleus, while the lysogenic cycle occurs in the cytoplasm In the lysogenic cycle, penetration is achieved through phagocytosis
