If a virus infects a bacterial cell, which consequence follows due to the lytic cycle?

💡 Explanation

The lytic cycle causes the bacterial host cell to produce many copies of the virus, eventually leading to the lysis (bursting) of the cell, because the virus hijacks the host's machinery to replicate itself rather than allowing the host to continue its normal function. Therefore, cell lysis and death is the consequence, rather than integration, dormancy, or methylation.
