Choose the correct statement about the difference in entry mechanisms between bacteriophages and animal viruses. Bacteriophages "push" their genomes inside the host cells leaving the capsid outside as a ghost. Only bacteriophages enter the host cells as an intact virion (genome+capsid). Animal viruses "push" their genomes inside the host cells leaving the capsid outside as a ghost. Both bacteriophages and animal viruses enter the host cell as an intact virion
