Question 1 of 5
What is one characteristic of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. HIV integrates its genetic material into the host cell's DNA. The virus uses the enzyme reverse transcriptase to make a DNA copy of its RNA, which is then inserted into the genetic material of the infected cell.
Choice A is incorrect because the presence of antibodies does not indicate immunity to HIV but rather exposure to the virus.
Choice B is incorrect as HIV replication occurs intracellularly, inside the host cell.
Choice D is irrelevant to the characteristics of HIV.
