Question

Host range is limited by the
A)type of nucleic acid in the virus.
B)age of the host cell.
C)type of host cell receptors on cell membrane.
D)size of the host cell.
E)All of these choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

The type of host cell receptors on cell membranes determines whether the virus can infect and replicate within a particular host organism or cell type. The other options listed may affect the ability of a virus to infect a host, but they do not limit the host range in the same way as the specificity of host cell receptors.
