A) The virus causes mutations in the human cells,resulting in the formation of new enzymes that are capable of performing these roles.
B) The virus has in its own genome the code for any specialized enzymes that the host does not have.
C) The virus infects only those cells and species that can perform all the replication roles necessary.
D) Viruses can stay in a quiescent state until the host cell evolves this ability.
E) All of the above have been frequently observed.
