Hiv is classified as a retrovirus because

(a) it reverts to an inactive form when it infects b lymphocytes
(b) this virus is composed of two cells surrounded by a lipoprotein coat
(c) it makes a dna copy of its rna once inside the host cell
(d) it infects only cells with a cd4 receptor
(e) it causes the production of hiv antibodies

The answer is C; it makes a DNA copy of its RNA once inside the host cell

Explanation:

HIV is called a retrovirus because common to all retroviruses, they store their genetic information using RNA instead of DNA, and they need to ‘make’ or convert their RNA to DNA when they enter a human cell in order to make new copies of themselves.

in situ hybridization has been widely used for research applications, including clinical cytogenetics, gene mapping, tumor biology and studies of chromosome evolution.

i have to report this, it doesn't relate to biology
