Question

What must match between a virus and a host cell?

A)DNA= Cell DNA
B)RNA=ribosome
C)envelope proteins= cell receptors
D)blood types

Answer 1

C)envelope proteins= cell receptors

Step-by-step explanation:

To enter the cell, the virus must bind to receptor proteins on the cell surface It does so via its envelope proteins. When the receptors and the envelope proteins match, the virus can become engulfed into the cell.

Once it enters the cell, the hijacks the cell's transcription and translation machinery and causes the viral proteins to be expressed. The viral proteins assemble into viral particles. Eventually, the cell bursts and the viral particles are released.
