What would happen to a virus that found its way to an environment filled only with cells that were outside of its host range? a) This virus would evolve until it was able to use the surrounding cells as hosts b) This virus would actively transport itself to another area in search of host cells C) This virus would replicate until it found cells that were within its host range d) Nothing; this virus would not be replicated
