Answer 1

False.

The lytic cycle is a viral replication cycle in which the virus injects its DNA into the host, leading to the production of new virus particles, ultimately causing the host cell to lyse (burst) and release the new viruses. However, it does not involve the integration of viral DNA with host DNA; that process is characteristic of the lysogenic cycle.
