Which of the following statements is true regarding the lytic cycle of a bacteriophage? Group of answer choices It does not matter whether a host cell is in a nutrient-rich environment for a bacteriophage to undergo the lytic cycle. A bacteriophage injects its single-stranded DNA into its host cell and makes over 300 copies of viral particles, then bursts out of the cell, killing the host. A bacteriophage's main goal is to kill its host. A bacteriophage uses some of the host cell's enzymes to help replicate its DNA into many copies.

Which of the following is not part of a lytic bacteriophage cycle? Select one: a. The phage integrates its genome into the bacterial genome. b. The phage uses host cell proteins to make more phage DNA and proteins. c. Once new phage are assembled, they burst out of the infected cell. d. The phage binds to the bacterium and injects its DNA.
