Question

question 10
most of the components necessary for viral reproduction are provided by the host cell of the virus.
which of these molecules must be provided by the virus itself?
○a. replication enzymes
○b. ribosomes
○c. genetic material
○d. amino acids

Explanation:

Viruses rely on host cells for most resources needed to reproduce, including ribosomes, amino acids, and often replication enzymes. However, a virus's core defining component is its own genetic material (DNA or RNA), which it must carry to inject into the host cell to initiate replication, as host cells do not provide the virus's specific genetic code.

Answer:

c. Genetic material
