Which statement is not true of viral replication?

A lysogenic cycle kills the host cell.

There are six basic steps in the viral replication cycle.

Viral replication does not affect host cell function.

Newly released virions can infect adjacent cells.

Newly released virions can infect adjacent cells.

Newly released virions can infect adjacent cells.

Explanation:

Unlike bacteria, viruses cannot reproduce through processes such as cell division, transduction, and so on. Virus replication occurs within host organism cells, this process is divided into six basic steps. At first viral replication does not affect the function of the host cell, but the process ends with the host cell and the release of several in the body. The various are complete virus particles outside the host cell. Newly released virions cannot infect adjacent cells.
