Front (Question)

Retrovirus

Back (Answer)

double stranded RNA genome

HIV 1 and HIV 2

virus carries its own RNA-dependent DNA polymerase called reverse transciptase

viral RNA genome is transcribed into a complementary DNA strand and that DNA strand serves as a template to form the second complementary DNA strand

the double-stranded DNA intermediate then permanently integrates into host cell DNA and is now called a provirus 9may remain latent of may encode new viral proteins and new viral RNA for assembly of copy viruses
