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

Answer 1

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

Explanation: In the lytic cycle the phage replicates rapidly, produces viral proteins and new virions, and lyses (kills) the host to release them. In the lysogenic cycle the viral genome integrates into the host DNA (prophage) and is passively replicated with the host without immediate production of new virions or host death.
