LenKa [72]3 years ago

Most organisms are Diploid, and as a result, they will have received 2 copies of the chromosomes, or sets of chromosomes, from both their parents. This they will have 2 sets of Genes that will perform almost exact same process, except with different phenotypes.

These chromosomes need to be homologous, in order for new alleles and other genetic combinations to be made.

When HIV initially infects a cell, the viral RNA is converted into DNA and then the newly formed DNA is integrated into the host
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

 Regarding the HIV cycle, we fear two types of cycles: lytic and lysogenic. In the first mentioned above, the proteins that make up the capsid will replicate. These unite around the nucleic acid molecules, producing new viruses. As a result of this event, lysis occurs, that is, the infected cell breaks down and new bacteriophages are released. Symptoms caused by a virus that reproduces this way in a multicellular organism appear immediately. In this cycle, viruses use the cell's biochemical equipment (ribosome) to make their protein (capsid).

  On the other hand, there is another cycle in which the production of viral components is shut down indefinitely. This type of multiplication is called lysogeny or lysogenic cycle and is a well established phenomenon for bacterial viruses. The symptoms caused by a virus that reproduces itself through the lysogenic cycle in a multicellular organism may take time to appear. Diseases caused by lysogenic viruses tend to be incurable, such as AIDS and herpes. For this reason that after this initial symptoms, like flu, is going to disapear and other symptoms of HIV infection will lie dormant for many years.
