Its not something anyone ever really considers.. =P Good question!

I assume the host DNA just floats down and interacts with other molecules and eventually degrades into its constituent parts. The remains are likely taken up by other bacteria and used again.

What are the difference between reproduction by the lytic and lysogenic cycles?

The lytic cycle involves the immediate replication of the virus and eventual destruction of the host cell, while the lysogenic cycle involves the integration of the virus's genetic material into the host cell's genome, leading to longer-term dormancy. Lytic cycle results in rapid production of new viral particles, while lysogenic cycle allows the virus to replicate along with the host cell's DNA until a trigger induces the lytic cycle.
