Summary Introduction

To explain:

The differences between the given curves.

Introduction:

Viruses grows and multiplies by two of its cycles called the lytic and the lysogenic cycle. They have some major difference. In a lytic cycle the virus infects a bacteria or any cell and as its number increases and as the virus copies grow in the cell then at the time of release they lyse the host cell and comes out.

In the case of lysogenic cycle the viral genome get integrates in the host’s genome and it continues to multiply the viral DNA doesn’t encounter any unfavorable condition. At the time of unfavorable condition it goes into the lytic cycle and comes out and infects the other cell.
