33. The lytic cycle is one of the two cycles of viral reproduction. Which of the
following descriptions about the lytic cycle is not correct?
(A) With lytic phages, bacterial cells are broken open and destroyed after immediate
replication of the virion.
(B) After the cell is destroyed, the phage progeny can find new hosts to infect.
(C) An example of a lytic bacteriophage is T4, which infects E. coli found in the
human intestinal tract.
(D) Some lytic phages undergo a phenomenon known as lysis inhibition, where
completed phage progeny will not immediately lyse out of the cell if extracellular
phage concentrations are high.
(E) As the lytic cycle allows the host cell to continue to survive and reproduce, the
virus is reproduced in all of the cell's offspring.
