Explanation

In the lysogenic cycle, 'Induction' refers to the process where the phage DNA separates from the host's chromosome and triggers the start of the lytic cycle. 'Lysis' means cell destruction, 'Lysogeny' is the dormant state of the phage DNA within the host, and 'Adsorption' describes the attachment of the phage to the host cell.
