Detailed explanation-1: -In the lytic cycle, the virus attaches to the host cell and injects its DNA. Using the host’s cellular metabolism, the viral DNA begins to replicate and form proteins. Then fully formed viruses assemble. These viruses break, or lyse, the cell and spread to other cells to continue the cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lytic Pathway A bacteriophage is a virus that invades a bacterium and reproduces inside of it. Bacteriophage Lambda is capable of replicating using both a lytic pathway as well as a lysogenic pathway.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The viruses reproductive cycle is called the lytic cycle because the lyrics cycle involves the lysis and the destruction of the cell. This is in contrast to the lysogenic cycle, in which the virus integrates into the host genome.
