What else can I help you with?
Is a HIV virus an exemple of DNA containing virus?
HIV is an RNA-virus. It does not contain DNA.
What is the role of integrase in HIV?
The role integrase plays in HIV is that it fuses viral DNA with host DNA.
Hiv is a virus affecting RNA or DNA?
HIV affects the DNA of the host cell by incorporating the double stranded DNA synthesized from reverse transcriptase as a provirus into the cell's DNA. These proviral genes are then transcribed into RNA molecules.
Which is the enzyme that HIV uses to synthesize DNA on an RNA template?
The enzyme that HIV uses to synthesize DNA on an RNA template is called reverse transcriptase. It catalyzes the conversion of viral RNA into DNA, which is an essential step in the HIV replication cycle.
How can recombinant DNA technology be used to combat HIV infections?
Recombinant DNA technology can be used to develop antiretroviral drugs that target specific components of the HIV virus to inhibit its replication. It can also be used to produce vaccines that induce immune responses against HIV. Moreover, gene therapy approaches using recombinant DNA can be used to modify immune cells to make them resistant to HIV infection.
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 enzyme turns HIV rna into HIV DNA?
The enzyme is called reverse transcriptase. The class of HIV drugs that block this process are called reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
Does HIV antibodies go away after some time?
No. HIV is a retrovirus that infects its host's DNA lysogenically (inserting its own genome into the host genome after reverse-transcripting into DNA). Therefore, it stays in your cells' DNA forever. However, you can suppress HIV symptoms and keep them at bay with many of the "HIV cocktails" (combinations of protease inhibitors, etc. that prevent the virus from replicating).
What is the result if the patient is having an HIV DNA laboratory examine when hbsag is negative?
The result is that the patient HIV infected if the hbsag is negative.
Is the common cold and HIV from the same virus?
No the cold virus is rhinovirus,where as HIV&AIDS is a retrovirus it reproduces by changing DNA into RNA.
How is transcription for hiv different from normal cell transcription?
HIV contains two copies of a single-stranded RNA that is copied into DNA as part of its replication whereas normal cell transcription goes from DNA to RNA
Why is the HIV virus called a retrovirus?
HIV is considered a retrovirus because has enzyme reverse transcriptase.HIV has RNA as genetic material.Using reverse transcriptase HIV synthesizes Double strand DNA inside the host cell using host's materials.
