Doubtly AI · Accepted Answer

Answer: 1. HIV is enveloped virus that contains two identical molecules of single-stranded RNA and two molecules of reverse transcriptase. HIV is a retrovirus with a lipid envelope. Inside it has two identical single-stranded RNA molecules and two molecules of reverse transcriptase. So option 1 is right. Option 2 is wrong because it is enveloped, option 4 gives wrong numbers, and option 3 is wrong since HIV attacks helper T cells and weakens the acquired immune response.
