B. Different host cells vary greatly in the DNA or RNA they will replicate

C. Some viruses must be recognized and taken in by a host cell and different host cells vary greatly in the DNA or RNA they will replicate.

E. The genetic material of the virus must match the genetic material of the host cell.
