The lytic cycle involves the replication of the virus inside the host cell followed by the release of new virus particles through cell lysis. The lysogenic cycle, on the other hand, involves the integration of the viral genome into the host cell's DNA and the replication of both the viral and host genomes. The virus remains dormant in the cell until it is triggered to enter the lytic cycle, resulting in the release of new virus particles.
