Good question! It is still unclear how HIV packages exactly two copies of their RNA genome in the particle. But what know is these RNA interact to form dimers, and these dimers may be well enough to be accommodated in the the capsids or gag molecules prior to budding.

What does the outer coat of a virus do?
It protects the virus and its genetic material
How does an active virus multiply?
Once inside a cell, a virus's genetic material takes over of the cell's functions. It instructs the cell to produce the virus's proteins and genetic material. These proteins and genetic material then assemble into new viruses.
What does the viruses genetic material contain?
yes!Virus contains both DNA and RNAsome viruses contain RNA as their geneti information and are called retroviruses.when retroviruses infect a cell, they produce a DNA copy of their RNA.
Where is the genetic materials of a viral located?
Genetic material of a virus it can be DNA or RNA.
When a virus invades a living cell what takes over the cells functions?
The virus's genetic material.
An agent that reproduces in cells but is not composed of cells and contains RNA as its genetic material is what?
A virus
Where is the genetic material of the virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
The genetic material of a virus is found in its .?
The genetic material of a virus is found in the capsid.
Which part of the virus takes over the host cell and contains the genetic material chooseCapsidDNAcytoplasmnone of the above?
DNA
What is a virus that stores its genetic material as RNA called?
A virus that stores its genetic material as RNA is called a RETROVIRUS
Additional steps that occur when a hidden virus multiplies?
The virus's genetic material becomes part of the genetic material of the bacterium And After some time he virus's genetic material removes itself and becomes active
Where is the genetic materials of a virus located?
The genetic material of a virus is located inside its capsid.
What does the outer coat of a virus do?
It protects the virus and its genetic material
What is the dormant state of a virus called?
The lysogenic cycle. This is when the virus incorporates its genetic material into the hosts genetic material and becomes what is called a provirus.
How do hidden viruses multiply?
1. A virus attaches to a bacterium. 2. The virus injects its genetic material. 3. The genetic material of the virus combines with the bacterium's genetic material. 4. The virus's genetic material detaches from the bacterium's genetic material and the bacterium produces the virus's proteins and genetic material. 5. New viruses assemble. 6. The bacterium bursts open, releasing new viruses.
Where is the genetic material of a virus found?
Its nucleus.
What is the genetic material in the center of a virus?
nucleus
