What is a virus replication that includes the lysogenic cycle?

Lysogenic cycle is a type of viral replication in which the viral genome integrates into the host cell's chromosome and remains dormant for some time. This is in contrast to the lytic cycle, in which the viral genome replicates rapidly and destroys the host cell.

Steps involved in the lysogenic cycle:

1. Infection: The virus infects the host cell and injects its genome.

2. Integration: The viral genome integrates into the host cell's chromosome. This process is mediated by a viral enzyme called integrase.

3. Lysogeny: The virus genome remains dormant for some time. During this time, the virus is not replicated and does not produce any new virions.

4. Induction: Some event triggers the induction of the lysogenic cycle. This can be caused by various factors, such as UV radiation or chemical agents.

5. Replication: The viral genome replicates rapidly. This process is mediated by a viral enzyme called replicase.

6. Assembly: New virions are assembled. This process is mediated by a viral enzyme called capsid assembly protein.

7. Release: The virions are released from the host cell by cell lysis. This process is mediated by a viral enzyme called lysin.

Examples: Some viruses that undergo the lysogenic cycle include bacteriophages, such as lambda phage and Mu phage.
