What happens at the end of the lytic cycle? a) the host cell becomes a virus b) the host cell bursts and dies c) the virus enters the lysogenic cycle d) the cell hides in the cells nucleus

There are two cycles of viral reproduction: the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle.

The lytic cycle has four stages. First is the attachment of the virus to the host cell.

Second is the injection of its genetic materials into the cell, thus infecting it.

In the third stage, the virus uses the host cell's machinery to make large amounts of viral proteins.

When large amounts of proteins have been made, they are assembled into complete viruses. When the host cell is filled with viruses, it will now burst and die. 

So the answer for the question is B.
