Answer:

Persistent infection

Explanation:

Viruses have the ability to remain in the host cell in a dormant state or latent state for many years. This is a part of reproduction cycle of a virus called the lysogenic cycle. This causes persistent infection in the host because the virus remains in the host cell and cause infection.

This persistent infection can cause cancer in the host because the viral genome incorporates in the host cell genome and take controls on its gene machinery. For example, HPV can incorporate itself in the host genome and can alter it which can cause cancer. So the correct answer is persistent infection.

yawa3891 [41]
In many cases, the activity of an enzyme is regulated by Negative feedback where the end product acts as a non competitive inhibitor.
In feedback inhibition the end product of a metabolic pathway acts on the key enzyme regulating entry to that pathway, keeping more of the end product from being produced. The feedback inhibition acts at the first committed step of the pathway, meaning the first step that's effectively irreversible. The pathway steps regulated by feedback inhibition are often catalyzed by allosteric enzymes.
