Which statement about the envelope is accurate? a The envelope glycoproteins are encoded by genes found in the host genome. b The envelope is obtained from the host cell when the virus buds from the plasma membrane. c The envelope is formed via the action of integrase. 5 A bacterial cell must have ________ in order to transfer portions of its chromosome to another cell. a An F factor b A high frequency of combination plasmid c Growth enhancement genes 6 Soon after the introduction of antibiotics, resistant strains of bacteria that could grow in the presence of particular antibiotics began to evolve.
