<span>The paralysis is from a chain reaction of cells not processing sodium properly. This leads to their residing in a resting potential instead of forming action potentials, as is required for them to fire during muscle movements. The electrical impulses are not moving down the cells, leading to their not being able to move and, therefore, paralysis of the affected or poisoned areas.</span>

Viruses that reproduce almost immediately after coming into contact with a host cell use which viral reproductive cycle?
Naddik [55]

The best answer is A.

The lytic cycle is considered the main cycle in viral replication. Once the viral DNA enters the cell, it transcribes itself into the host cell's messenger RNAs and uses them to direct the ribosomes.

The host cell's DNA is destroyed and the virus takes over the cell's metabolic activity and begins to use the cell's energy for its own propagation and within a short while, when the cell gets overcrowded with  the viral progeny, the original virus releases enzymes to break the cell wall. The cell wall bursts. This process is called lysis. The new viruses are then released.
