The lytic cycle results in Immediate death of host cell.

Explanation:

Lytic cycle is followed by virulent phages.Lysogenic cycle as well as lytic cycle are followed by temperate phages.During lytic cycle the host cell is lysed and new viruses are released very quickly .During lysogenig cycle, the viral genome integrates into the host genome and creates a prophage. When the infected cell replicates the prophage also replicates. Later at some time the prophage enter the lytic cycle.The main difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycle is, lytic cycle involves the lysis of the host cell while lysogenic cycle does not involve lysis of host cell.
