The lytic cycle and binary fission are two distinct processes of reproduction and propagation. The lytic cycle involves a virus infecting a host cell, hijacking its machinery to replicate viral components, and ultimately causing the cell to burst (lyse) to release new virions. In contrast, binary fission is a method of asexual reproduction used by prokaryotic organisms, such as bacteria, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. While the lytic cycle results in the destruction of the host cell, binary fission simply replicates the organism without killing it.
