Question

The genome of HIV replicates in the macrophages with the help of an enzyme called:

• A. DNA Polymerase
• B. RNA Polymerase
• C. Reverse Transcriptase
• D. DNA Ligase

Hint:

Targeting enzymes like reverse transcriptase is central to HIV therapy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

HIV uses reverse transcriptase to convert its RNA genome into DNA within host macrophages.
This DNA integrates into the host genome, allowing viral replication and infection.
Reverse transcriptase is a key target in antiretroviral therapy.
