Place the steps in the correct order to assess your understanding of the general life cycle exhibited by animal viruses.A. Penetration: The virus is engulfed into a vesicle.B. Synthesis (Replication and Protein Production): Under the control of viral genes, the cell synthesizes the basic components of new viruses: RNA molecules, capsomers, spikes.C. Uncoating: The viral envelope is shed thereby freeing the viral RNA into the cell cytoplasm.D. Release: Envelope viruses bud off of the membrane, carrying away an envelope with the spikes. This complete virus or virion is ready to infect another cell.E. Adsorption: The virus attaches to its host cell by specific binding of its spikes to cell receptors.F. Assembly: Viral spike proteins are inserted into the cell membrane for the viral envelope; nucleocapsid is formed from RNA and capsomers.
