Which of the following is a known characteristic that can lead to genetic changes in some viruses?     Operons in the viral genome can undergo homologous recombination, leading to genetic rearrangements.     Reassortment of segmented genomes can occur if a host cell is co-infected with two different viral strains.     RNA polymerases used in replication of the viral genome have proofreading capability.     Environmental conditions can trigger the SOS response, which triggers mutations in the viral genome.

Viral Replication

The virus is acellular and considered non-living outside the host cell. The replication of the virus occurs only inside the living cells. Only a few genes are present in the smallest virus, whereas many genes are present in the largest virus. These genes encode specific viral proteins.
