Answer:

The lytic cycle results in Immediate death of host cell.

Explanation:

  • Lytic cycle is followed by virulent phages.
  • Lysogenic cycle as well as lytic cycle are followed by temperate phages.
  • During lytic cycle the host cell is lysed and new viruses are released very quickly .
  • During lysogenig cycle, the viral genome integrates into the host genome and creates a prophage. When the infected cell replicates the prophage also replicates. Later at some time the prophage enter the lytic cycle.
  • The main difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycle is, lytic cycle involves the lysis of the host cell while lysogenic cycle does not involve lysis of host cell.
