What are the similarities between lytic and lysogenic cycle?

Both the lytic and lysogenic cycles are methods by which viruses infect host cells and replicate. In both cycles, the viral genetic material enters the host cell and takes over the host's machinery to produce new viral particles. Additionally, both cycles can involve the integration of viral DNA into the host's genome, although this is a defining characteristic of the lysogenic cycle. Ultimately, both cycles lead to the propagation of the virus, but they differ in their immediate effects on the host cell.
