Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It has been known for decades that once a virus gets inside a cell, it hijacks the cellular processes to produce virally encoded protein that will replicate the virus’s genetic material.
Detailed explanation-2: -Following attachment of the virus particle on the target cells, the next step is the penetration into the cytoplasm.
