Question

What cellular activity is essential for the replication of HIV?

Penetration of the cell

Uncoating of the HIV genome

Reverse transcription of the RNA genome producing proviral DNA

All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: all of the above

HIV gradually destroys the immune system by attacking and killing a type of white blood cell called a CD4 cell. CD4 cells play a major role in protecting the body from infection.HIV causesacquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS).The cellular activity required for the replication of the HIV involves the attachment,Virion component release in cell cytoplasm,reverse transcription and uncoating and nuclear entry.Then they are followed by the integration,latency or replication decision,latency or reactivation.And finally they also include the transcription,gRNA nuclear exit and Virion assembly and budding.These all include the various activity involved in the replication of HIV.
