Q
What is the difference between the lytic cycle and lysogenic cycle?
A
In the lytic cycle, the phage that infects a cell circularizes (remaining separate from the host DNA), it replicates and new phage particles are assembled. Eventually, the cell lyses, releasing this phage. In the lysogenic cycle the phage that infects the cell becomes incorporated into the host genome, causing the cell to divide and the prophage DNA to get passed down to daughter cells.
