Detailed explanation-1: -The host cell is destroyed in the lytic cycle. The lytic cycle is a mode of viral replication in which a virus produces many copies of itself in the host cell and those copies proceed to burst the host cell on their way out. This bursting destroys the cell and may cause some of the symptoms of the viral infection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lytic Cycle With lytic phages, bacterial cells are broken open (lysed) and destroyed after immediate replication of the virion. As soon as the cell is destroyed, the phage progeny can find new hosts to infect.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lytic cycle of a virus begins when a virus locates and enters a living organism. The virus attaches itself to a cell that’s known as the host cell. The virus injects its own DNA into the host cell. It then takes over the cellular machinery of the host, forcing it to replicate viral DNA instead of its own.
