The synthesis stage of viral replication for viruses includes:

1. the virus living dormant in the environment for months to years.
2. the cell bursting and releasing viral particles throughout the host.
3. the virus penetrating the host cell in order to "inject" its genetic material into the host.
4. the virus replicating by making viral capsid proteins and enzymes.


Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: This does not describe the synthesis stage.
Rationale 2: This describes the final stage.
Rationale 3: This describes the second stage.
Rationale 4: This accurately describes the synthesis stage.
Global Rationale: The third stage is synthesis of viral nucleic acid and proteins by the host cell. Immediately after penetration, a few viral proteins are constructed, which assist in duplication of the viral DNA or RNA. It is not the dormant stage. Penetration is the second state of replication. Viral infection is the final stage of replication and may result from the cell bursting.
