Explain.}

Answer 1

Entry: HIV binds to CD4 receptors on T-cells and merges with the cell membrane. Reverse Transcription: Viral RNA is transformed into DNA by the reverse transcriptase enzyme. Integration: Viral DNA is incorporated into the host genome by integrase. Replication: The host's cellular machinery produces viral proteins and RNA. Release: New virions are assembled and released, eventually causing T-cell destruction. Progression: The immune system deteriorates, resulting in opportunistic infections and AIDS.
