f. viral proteins are synthesized within host cell

Answer 1

1. c. virus attaches to cell surface

2. b. virus penetrates and inserts genome into cell

3. f. viral proteins are synthesized within host cell

4. a. viral genome is replicated using host cell's machinery

5. d. new viruses are assembled within host cell

6. e. the cell ruptures and releases new viruses to infect new cells

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the virus attaches to the cell. Then it penetrates the cell membrane and inserts its genome inside the cell. The virus relies on the cell machinery to synthesize its proteins, and also to replicate its genome.

With these components being synthesized and replicated, new viral particles are assembled inside the host cell. Eventually, the cell ruptures, and the newly assembled viruses are released and able to attach to new cells to repeat the cycle
