Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retroviruses are a group of RNA viruses that use a reverse transcriptase enzyme to produce DNA from their RNA genome, which then integrates into the host cell's genome. One retrovirus, HIV, has been identified as the causative agent of AIDS.

Answer: M
 A preparation injected into the body to elicit a primary immune response is called a vaccine. Vaccines contain either weakened or dead pathogens, parts of pathogens, or synthetic molecules that resemble a pathogen's surface patterns, which stimulate the immune system to produce a response without causing disease.
