Question

HIV has a protein coat and genetic material :
(a) ss RNA (b) ds RNA
(c) ss DNA (d) ds DNA

Answer 1

Explanation:

(c)ss DNA is a answer of this question

Answer 2

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) has a protein coat and genetic material called the "ss RNA". So, option (a) is correct.

• HIV is a type of viruses named as retrovirus, as they contain an enzyme called the Reverse Transcriptase.
• The main function of Reverse transcriptase is to mediate the formation of DNA to RNA.
• The genetic material present in HIV is single stranded RNA, also called the "ss RNA".
• Within the envelope there are two identical strands of ss RNA and the reverse transcriptase enzyme are present.
