Answer 1

The lytic cycle results in Immediate death of host cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Lytic cycle is followed by virulent phages.
• Lysogenic cycle as well as lytic cycle are followed by temperate phages.
• During lytic cycle the host cell is lysed and new viruses are released very quickly .
• During lysogenig cycle, the viral genome integrates into the host genome and creates a prophage. When the infected cell replicates the prophage also replicates. Later at some time the prophage enter the lytic cycle.
• The main difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycle is, lytic cycle involves the lysis of the host cell while lysogenic cycle does not involve lysis of host cell.
