The lysogenic cycle incorporates its DNA into the cells DNA, lets the cell resume normal growth by reproduction, so that all the cells have viral DNA and lyse to produce more viruses than ever. The lyctic cycle merely infects and lyses one cell at a time.

In the lytic cycle, a virus infects a host cell, replicates and then destroys the cell to release new viruses. In the lysogenic cycle, the virus integrates its genetic material into the host cell's DNA, where it remains dormant until it is triggered to enter the lytic cycle.

Phages have lytic or lysogenic cycle to reproduce themself.Phages that have lytic life cycle it kill bacteria after new progenicy of phages are relaset from host bacteria.Phages with lysogenic cyclel it integrate their DNA to the host bacteria.However, when bacteria that carry genetic material of lysogenic phages are posed to stress can switch to the lytitic cycle to produce a new progeny of pahages.

Yes, viruses do undergo the lytic and lysogenic cycle. Depending on what type of virus determines which process they undergo.

Cell lysis occurs under several 'natural conditions'; viral reproduction is just one of them.
