Which of the following typically occurs all at once and results in rapid cell lysis?

A) Penetration
B) Replication and synthesis
C) Phage release
D) Viral components
E) Viral contrast

Cell Lysis

The process of breaking down the cell membrane, leading to the destruction of the cell often due to viral, enzymatic, or osmotic mechanisms.

Phage Release

The process by which bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) exit the host cell after replicating, often resulting in the cell's lysis.

Penetration

The action or process of making a way through or into something.
