What genetic material of some viruses such as HIV is not normal DNA but is instead?
Some viruses, such as HIV, contain RNA as their genetic material instead of the more typical DNA. Specifically, HIV is a retrovirus, meaning it uses reverse transcription to convert its RNA into DNA after entering a host cell. This DNA then integrates into the host's genome, allowing the virus to replicate and persist within the host.
What are the steps of HIV replication in the correct order?
Attachment: HIV binds to the CD4 receptor on the host cell. Fusion: The viral membrane fuses with the host cell membrane. Reverse transcription: Viral RNA is reverse-transcribed into DNA by reverse transcriptase. Integration: The viral DNA is integrated into the host cell's genome. Transcription and translation: Viral genes are transcribed and translated to produce new viral proteins. Assembly: New viral particles are assembled. Budding: Mature HIV particles bud off from the host cell.
Which of the following lists the steps of HIV replication in the correct order?
HIV binds with the CD4 protein on the surface of the T4 lymphocyte. The HIV fuses with the T4 lymphocyte. Viral RNA (ribonucleic acid) and reverse transcriptase enter the target cell. Reverse transcriptase produces viral DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) from the viral RNA. Viral DNA enters the target cell's nucleus and splices into the target cell's DNA. The target cell uses the information on the viral DNA and produces the pieces needed for building copies of HIV. The pieces are assembled into new copies of HIV. This process uses an enzyme called protease. Copies of HIV are released from the target cell in a process called budding.
If red cell show normocytic normochromic picture white appears normal platelets are adequate.. do i have hiv test..?
You describe a normal complete blood count. That is a finding separate from the HIV test. Whether you need an HIV test is not based on the complete blood count; instead, you should have an HIV test based on your risk factors for acquiring HIV.
Reverse transcription occurs when?
Reverse transcription occurs when RNA is converted into DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase. This process is commonly observed in retroviruses like HIV, where the viral RNA is reverse transcribed into DNA upon infection of a host cell. The resulting DNA can then integrate into the host cell's genome and be used as a template for viral replication.
What is a form in which HIV hides in the host cell?
the forms in which hiv hides in the host cell is retrovirus
What is the role of reverse transcriptase in hiv infection?
Reverse Transcription: Converting viral RNA into DNA
What is the process making RNA to DNA?
The process of converting RNA to DNA is called reverse transcription. This process is carried out by the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which uses an RNA template to synthesize a complementary DNA strand. Reverse transcription is a key step in the replication of retroviruses like HIV and in the production of complementary DNA (cDNA) from RNA for use in research applications.
If a HIV guy bites a normal person will he get HIV?
if the HIV person's blood gets into an another person's blood, then the other person can get HIV.
Contract HIV from sickle cell?
NO
True or False HIV replicates itself inside B-cells.?
Nope, T helper cells are HIV's target cells.
Does a high white blood cell count mean HIV?
A high white blood cell count can be a sign of many different conditions, including infections like HIV. It is not specific to HIV and needs further testing for a definitive diagnosis. Other symptoms and risk factors should also be considered in conjunction with the white blood cell count for an accurate assessment.
