Temperate Viruses Can Enter into Either a Lytic or Lysogenic

Question

Temperate viruses can enter into either a lytic or lysogenic cycle.

Accepted Answer

Temperate viruses are able to enter into either a lytic or lysogenic cycle, depending on the conditions and their host cell. In the lytic cycle, the virus quickly replicates and then causes the host cell to burst, releasing new virus particles. In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA becomes integrated into the host cell's genome and may remain dormant until it is triggered to enter the lytic cycle.
