In the lytic cycle, the virus actively replicates and eventually causes the host cell to burst, releasing new viral particles. In contrast, during the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA integrates into the host's genome and remains dormant. Stress or certain environmental triggers can indeed cause a virus to switch from the lysogenic cycle to the lytic cycle, leading to active viral replication and cell lysis.
