The correct response is:
The viral genome incorporates into the host genome during the lysogenic cycle.
This statement is true. In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA integrates into the host's genome and can remain dormant, replicated along with the host's DNA, whereas in the lytic cycle, the virus replicates independently and causes the host cell to lyse, releasing new viral particles.
