Which occurs in both the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle?

In both cycles, the virus uses the host cell’s machinery and resources to carry out viral processes. The lytic cycle destroys the host cell and produces new virus particles, while the lysogenic cycle involves viral DNA integrating into the host’s genetic material without immediately destroying the cell. Thus, “hijacking of the host cell’s metabolism” is the shared event.
