Glycoprotein (gp120)

Caspid made of protein units

mRNA

Lipid bilayer

tRNA

Viral proteins (reverse transcriptase and integrase)

Flagellum

Protein coat

Cell surface membrane

Fatigue, fever, nausea, dizziness.

Severe bleeding, muscle paralysis and fainting.

Symptoms of infections that a patient is susceptible to due to their weakened immune system.

RNA destroys the cell, therefore weakening the host's immune system.

It manufactures viral DNA in order to make more viral particles.

Viral RNA is integrated into the host's genome.

Where there are two strands of DNA still bound by hydrogen bonds.

At a replication fork, as DNA unzips.

At the restriction sites for STRs.

UGA

Amine group and R group.

Amine group and carboxylic acid group.

R group and carboxylic acid group.

Tripeptide

Dipeptide

Polypeptide

Many triplets can code for the same amino acid.

There is only one triplet that can code for one amino acid.

One triplet can code for many amino acids.

tRNA is edited before it forms hydrogen bonds with codons.

mRNA is edited between transcription and translation.

DNA is edited before being transcribed and translated.

The order of sections of mRNA is switched around.

Some sections (introns) are removed and other sections are spliced together.

Exons are removed from mRNA leaving only introns.
