All of the following statements about Lambda phase are true, except

A
In lysogenic phase it fuses with host chromosome and remains dormant
B
In Lytic phase it fuses with host chromosome and replicates
C
Both lytic and lysogenic phases occurs together
D
In lytic phase it causes cell lysis and releases virus paicles
High-Yield Explanation
The distinction between lysogenic and lytic cycles is that the spread of the viral DNA occurs through the usual prokaryotic reproduction, while the lytic phage is spread through the production of thousands of individual phages capable of surviving and infecting other cells. The key difference between the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle is that the lysogenic cycle does not lyse the host cell.Phages that replicate only the lytic cycle are known as virulent phages while phages that replicate using both lytic and lysogenic cycles are known as temperate phages.
