Viral proteins are synthesized during the lysogenic cycle.

The host cell is destroyed during the lytic cycle.
The host cell is destroyed during the lytic cycle.

The virus injects DNA into the host cell during the lysogenic cycle.
The virus injects DNA into the host cell during the lysogenic cycle.

The host cell copies its own DNA during the lytic cycle.

Answer 1

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 takes over the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce new viral particles, ultimately leading to the destruction of the host cell. In contrast, the lysogenic cycle involves the integration of the viral DNA into the host cell's genome, allowing it to replicate alongside the host cell without immediately destroying it.
