In the lytic cycle, the bacteriophage T4 immediately begins to digest the host DNA using its own enzymes to take over the bacterial host. This destruction of host DNA does not occur in the lysogenic cycle. The other events (attachment, entry, viral protein synthesis) occur in both the lytic and lysogenic cycles.
