Which of the following is one way a virus can enter the host cell? Depending on the type of virus, each of the choices is a potential entry mechanisms. A virus can gain entry by fusing its membrane with the host cell's membe to transfer its genome into the host cell. A virus can gain entry by injecting its genome into the host cell. A virus can gain entry by fusing with the host cell's membrane so that the entire virus enters the host cell.

Virus

Viruses are infectious microscopic agents that can only reproduce in live cells of animals, plants, or microbes and are smaller than bacteria. Vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, protists, and fungi are among their many hosts. Viruses are unable to multiply on their own due to the lack of necessary cellular machinery, but they can guide the cell machinery of a host to make additional viruses by infection. The virus enters and attaches to a particular host cell, injects its genetic material, and reproduces by using the host’s genetic material. Viruses cause infection by taking entry into the host cell and using the host cell’s enzymes and raw materials to multiply.
