You are provided with a pedigree showing a family with a dominant genetic disorder. However, a few generations appear unaffected despite carrying the dominant allele. What are potential explanations for this phenomenon, and how might incomplete penetrance or variable expressivity play a role in this pedigree? Provide examples of diseases where these factors are relevant.

In the context of viral life cycles, compare and contrast the lytic and lysogenic cycles in bacteriophages. What are the key molecular events that distinguish these two cycles, and under what conditions might a virus switch between the lytic and lysogenic cycles?
