Which of the following statements concerning the infection of human cells by HIV iruses is not accurate?

a. after entry to the cell the virus coat is removed, and then the viral DNA is released into the cell.
b. the virus binds to specific sites on the surface of a human cell
c. single stranded DNA is converted into double stranded DNA.
d. when viral DNA take over the protein synthesizing apparatus of the cell, viral proteins are produced by the host cell ribosomes.
e. new viral particles, containing nucleic acid and structural protein, ' pinch off' from the host cell membrane.

Right Off the Bat, RNA Not DNA. So, A), Not C).

The answer is c. The single stranded RNA is transcribed to double stranded DNA via an enzyme called reverse transcriptase. It then can be copied, or is sometimes integrated into the genome via an enzyme called integrase. That's a simplification of what happens.

the answer is (c.), because DNA is never single-stranded.

Its both a and c, because HIV is a reterovirus and has RNA in it.
