In the lytic cycle, the viral DNA will replicate and then break, or lyse, away from the host cell and spread to other cells to continue the cycle.  In the lysogenic cycle the viral DNA gets incorporated into the host’s DNA. Each time the host’s cells replicate, the virus’s DNA gets replicated as well.
