|---|---|
| Lytic | The phage DNA attaches to the host cell The viral DNA enters the host cell The phage DNA replicates and phage proteins are made The cell lyses, releasing the newly made phages |
| Lysogenic | The phage infects the cell The phage DNA becomes part of the host genome The cell divides and prophage DNA is passed on to daughter cells Then it enters the lytic cycle ... |
| Lytic | The phage DNA attaches to the host cell The viral DNA enters the host cell The phage DNA replicates and phage proteins are made New phage particles are assumed The cell lyses, releasing the new made phages |
