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 quickly, leading to the destruction of the host cell as new viral particles are being released. In contrast, the lysogenic cycle involves the integration of the viral DNA into the host genome, allowing the virus to replicate along with the host cell without immediately destroying it.
