Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike animal viruses, the nucleic acid of bacteriophages is injected into the host cell naked, leaving the capsid outside the cell. Plant and animal viruses can enter their cells through endocytosis, in which the cell membrane surrounds and engulfs the entire virus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Viral penetration: The viral capsid or genome is injected into the host cell’s cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which component of a virus is injected into an infected cell? It begins with the attachment of the virus to a host cell. The DNA or RNA of the virus enters the cell and integrates with the DNA of the host cell, and a provirus is formed.

Detailed explanation-4: -The essential components of infectious viral particles are nucleic acid (the genome) and protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -What component of a virus is injected into the infected cell? Explanation: The nucleic acid is inserted into the cell where it directs the creation of new virus parts. Once the nucleic acid is injected into the cell, the capsid and the tail are useless and are absorbed.
