Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of a virus exiting the lysogenic cycle and entering the lytic cycle is called induction. During induction, the prophage (viral DNA integrated into the host genome) is excised from the host chromosome and begins replicating and producing new virus particles, resulting in cell lysis and the release of infectious viruses. This process is triggered by certain environmental signals, such as exposure to UV light or other chemicals, which can cause DNA damage or stress to the bacterial cell.
