Entry of a virus into the lytic cycle after lysogeny has been established is called _________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Induction is the process in which a lysogenic virus switches from the lysogenic cycle to the lytic cycle, resulting in the production and release of new virions. This can be triggered by environmental factors such as UV radiation or chemicals. Lysogenic conversion refers to the acquisition of new traits by the host cell due to the expression of viral genes, while lysogenic reversion implies the reversal of lysogeny back to the lytic cycle, which is not typically observed in viral infections.
