The correct differentiation between the lysogenic and lytic cycles is:
The host cell is destroyed during the lytic cycle.
In the lytic cycle, the virus replicates and ultimately causes the host cell to lyse (break open), releasing new viral particles. In contrast, during the lysogenic cycle, the virus integrates its genetic material into the host's DNA and does not immediately destroy the host cell.
