Which process explains why a rhinovirus can establish infection only after entering the host cell and releasing its RNA genome?

💡 Explanation

The rhinovirus requires uncoating to release its RNA genome into the host cell cytoplasm to initiate replication and protein synthesis; because this is a crucial step for viral proliferation, therefore, viral infection can only proceed after uncoating, rather than reverse transcription, integration, or direct ribosomal hijacking.
