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 else can I help you with?
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 enzyme inserts viral DNA into the host's chromosomal DNA?
The enzyme responsible for inserting viral DNA into the host's chromosomal DNA is called integrase. Integrase plays a crucial role in the integration of the viral genome into the host cell's DNA, allowing the virus to replicate and persist within the host cell.
What enzyme is referred to as Akt?
Akt is the enzyme which is known as protein kinase B. Its scientific term is thymoma viral proto-oncogene and its particular job is to help promote cellular revival.
How is genetic information copied in a retroviruses?
When a retrovirus invades a host cell, it uses the enzyme reverse transcriptase (also called retrotranscriptase) to synthesize a sequence of DNA that is complementary to its RNA, in a process called reverse transcription. This DNA will then be inserted into the host cell's genome, and will be replicated just like the rest of the cell's DNA. The viral DNA will be transcribed into RNA, which will then be translated into viral parts, which will ultimately be assembled into new viruses.
How does enzyme restriction limit the affect of a virus?
Enzyme restriction acts as a defense mechanism by cutting viral DNA at specific recognition sites, preventing the virus from replicating effectively in the host cell. This limits the virus's ability to spread and cause infection.
What animal's cells has integrase?
None. It's a viral enzyme.

What enzyme in the human body is used to repel an invading virus?
The enzyme used to repel an invading virus in the human body is interferon. Interferons are proteins released by cells in response to viral infections, and they help to activate the immune system and inhibit viral replication.
What enzyme is referred to as Akt?
Akt is the enzyme which is known as protein kinase B. Its scientific term is thymoma viral proto-oncogene and its particular job is to help promote cellular revival.
Most RNA viruses carry which enzymes?
Most RNA viruses carry RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) enzyme, which is responsible for replicating the viral RNA genome within host cells. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the viral life cycle by synthesizing complementary RNA strands from viral RNA templates.

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.
How does enzyme restriction limit the affect of a virus?
Enzyme restriction acts as a defense mechanism by cutting viral DNA at specific recognition sites, preventing the virus from replicating effectively in the host cell. This limits the virus's ability to spread and cause infection.
Why when viral RNA is transcripted into DNA there will be remaining segment of DNA after replication?
When viral RNA is transcribed into DNA, the enzyme reverse transcriptase may not always copy the entire viral RNA molecule. This can lead to a shorter DNA segment being produced, resulting in a loss of genetic information. During replication, this shorter DNA segment is then duplicated along with the rest of the viral genome, maintaining the incomplete section in subsequent generations of the virus.
The function of cdna?
hi In vitro we must converted the RNA to cDNA to diagnosis viral RNA in PCR. In vivo RNa viral infected the cell RNA converted to cDNA IN SIDE THE CELL BY REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE therfore cDNA insertion in the DNA of cell infected thank you hi In vitro we must converted the RNA to cDNA to diagnosis viral RNA in PCR.

Are nucleoside analogs that inhibit DNA synthesis effective against viral diseases?
Yes, nucleoside analogs that inhibit DNA synthesis are effective against viral diseases because they can interfere with viral replication by disrupting the synthesis of viral DNA. These analogs can be incorporated into viral DNA, causing errors in replication and ultimately inhibiting viral replication and spread within the body.
