An Exit Method Used by Viruses Which Does Not Immediately

Question

An exit method used by viruses which does not immediately destroy the host bacterium is
A)lysis.
B)inversion.
C)extrusion.
D)excising.

Accepted Answer

Extrusion is a process by which a virus exits from the host bacterium without lysing it. It involves the formation of small channels in the bacterial membrane through which the virus particle is extruded. This allows the virus to exit the host cell without causing immediate cell death, which could alert the host's immune system to the presence of the virus. Instead, the virus can continue to replicate within the host cell until a sufficient number of virions have been produced, which can then exit through the extrusion process.
