Detailed explanation-1: -Lytic cycle, comparitively more common, is a method of viral multiplication wherein the virus attacks a host cell. It destroys the host cell totally by feeding on the metabolism of the host in order to multiply. Lysogenic cycle, not a common method of viral reproduction, majorly is dependant on the lytic cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lytic cycle involves the reproduction of viruses using a host cell to manufacture more viruses; the viruses then burst out of the cell. The lysogenic cycle involves the incorporation of the viral genome into the host cell genome, infecting it from within.

Detailed explanation-3: -The difference between lysogenic and lytic cycles is that, in lysogenic cycles, the spread of the viral DNA occurs through the usual prokaryotic reproduction, whereas a lytic cycle is more immediate in that it results in many copies of the virus being created very quickly and the cell is destroyed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lytic cycle is a type of a viral reproduction mechanism which results in the lysis of the infected cell. It occurs through five stages: adsorption, penetration, replication, maturation, and release. Virus may attach to the cell wall or the plasma membrane of the host cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the lysogenic cycle, phage DNA is incorporated into the host genome. An environmental stressor can cause the phage to initiate the lysogenic cycle. Cell lysis only occurs in the lytic cycle.
