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: -In the lytic cycle, a phage acts like a typical virus: it hijacks its host cell and uses the cell’s resources to make lots of new phages, causing the cell to lyse (burst) and die in the process.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a lytic cycle, the virus introduces its genome into a host cell and initiates replication by hijacking the host’s cellular machinery to make new copies of the virus. Once infection is complete, the newly replicated and assembled virus particles are released through lysis of the host cell into the surrounding waters.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The new viruses burst out of the host cell during a process called lysis, which kills the host cell. Some viruses take a portion of the host’s membrane during the lysis process to form an envelope around the capsid.
