Once HIV RNA is reverse transcribed into HIV DNA and integrated into the DNA of a host cells, the viral DNA is called a(n) .

Because it synthesizes DNA from RNA using reverse transcription, HIV is described as a(n)

The enzyme inside the HIV matrix that catalyzes the conversion of viral RNA into viral DNA is transcriptase.

HIV belongs to which group of viruses, all of which use reverse transcriptase to convert viral RNA into DNA?Multiple choice question.CoronavirusesPoxvirusesRetrovirusesHerpesviruses
