In the lytic cycle, a virus that has invaded and entered a cell takes over the cell's replication mechanism. The virus makes viral DNA and viral proteins.
The virus then lyses (breaks open) the cell membrane, allowing the newly produced viruses to leave the now disintergrated host cell to infect other new cells.
The lytic cycle is considered the main method of viral replication. It is even more common than the lysogenic cycle. It has helped scientists understand better how the immune system responds to pathogens.
to determine whether traits can be inherited independently
Explanation:
the use of dihybrid crosses allowed him to discover the law of independent assortment / discovering that each locus had 2 alleles which segregate during the creation of gametes.
That would be the synthesis of body mass in a primary consumer (herbivore who eats the plant).
The cell grows,then separates,then prepares for mitosis
i think c. is the best answer , we just got off that topic like a week ago .
