Detailed explanation-1: -By definition, RNA viruses are not able to integrate their genome into the host chromosome, as their genetic information resides in RNA molecules and not DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses cannot replicate on their own, but rather depend on their host cell’s protein synthesis pathways to reproduce. This typically occurs by the virus inserting its genetic material in host cells, co-opting the proteins to create viral replicates, until the cell bursts from the high volume of new viral particles.
Detailed explanation-3: -The viral genome (genetic material) has the instructions, aka genes, to take over the host cell and to build new copies of itself.
Detailed explanation-4: -Enveloped animal viruses enter their host cells by a process of membrane fusion. This fusion can occur at the cell plasma membrane or within the endocytic vacuolar system, depending on the characteristics of the virus fusion protein.
