The typical step in the lytic cycle of viral replication from the options provided is:

Assembly of new virus particles on the cell membrane of the host cell

In the lytic cycle, the virus infects the host cell, replicates its genetic material, and assembles new virus particles before eventually causing the cell to burst (lyse) to release the newly formed viruses. The other options (production of energy, host cell undergoing mitosis, and integration of viral genetic material into the host genome) are not characteristic of the lytic cycle.
