Editing Lytic cycle (section)

==Description==
The lytic cycle is often separated into six stages: attachment, penetration, transcription, biosynthesis, maturation, and lysis.
# '''Attachment''' – the phage attaches itself to the surface of the host cell in order to inject its DNA into the cell
# '''Penetration''' – the phage injects its DNA into the host cell by penetrating through the cell membrane
# '''Transcription''' – the host cell's DNA is degraded and the cell's metabolism is directed to initiate phage biosynthesis
# '''Biosynthesis''' – the phage DNA replicates inside the cell, synthesizing new phage DNA and proteins
# '''Maturation''' – the replicated material assembles into fully formed viral phages (each made up of a head, a tail and tail fibers)
# '''Lysis''' - cell wall or membrane ruptures, disintegrating it and releasing the virus in the process
