What else can I help you with?
When human immunodeficiency virus HIV attaches to a host cell what genetic material is released into the cell's cytoplasm?
Within the HIV capsid is the genetic material RNA along with two reverse transcriptase enzymes to copy the RNA into DNA inside the invaded cell.
Is the HIV virus double-stranded?
No, HIV is a retrovirus - it has a single-stranded RNA genome.
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.
Is a HIV virus an exemple of DNA containing virus?
HIV is an RNA-virus. It does not contain DNA.
Example for bacterial RNA viruses?
Flu and HIV
Is it true or false that hiv uses reverse transcriptase to make ds RNA copies of its DNA genome?
False. HIV uses reverse transcriptase to make single-stranded RNA copies of its RNA genome.
What would the HIV viral sequence of AUCUU be converted to and by what enzyme?
The HIV virus is an RNA virus, so you know the sequence AUCUU is the RNA sequence. (You also know it is RNA because it contains uracil.) HIV is a retrovirus, so its RNA will be transcribed to DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase and then inserted into the host's genome. The RNA sequence of AUCUU would be transcribed to TAGTT.
What is rna polymerase play a role in the hiv infection?
RNA Polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes the formation of RNA from a DNA template during transcription.
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.
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
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.
A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA is called?
It is called a Retrovirus HIV is an example of a Retrovirus
