Which is a reason of instability of phage DNA molecule in the host cell in a lytic cycle?

Which is a reason of instability of phage DNA molecule in the host cell in a lytic cycle? Correct Answer Immediate synthesis of capsid

The characteristic feature of a lytic infection cycle is that phage DNA replication is immediately followed by synthesis of capsid proteins and the phage DNA molecule is never maintained in a stable condition in the host cell.
