Which of the following is not part of the reproduction cycle of HIV?
A
Reverse transcription of the viral RNA
B
Reverse transcription of the viral DNA
C
Maturation of the viruses
D
Biosynthesis of the viral mRNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What are the seven stages of the HIV life cycle? The seven stages of the HIV life cycle are: 1) binding, 2) fusion, 3) reverse transcription, 4) integration, 5) replication, 6) assembly, and 7) budding.

Detailed explanation-2: -HIV uses reverse transcriptase (RT) to convert its RNA into viral DNA, a process called reverse transcription.

Detailed explanation-3: -Once inside a CD4 cell, HIV releases and uses reverse transcriptase (an HIV enzyme) to convert its genetic material-HIV RNA-into HIV DNA. The conversion of HIV RNA to HIV DNA allows HIV to enter the CD4 cell nucleus and combine with the cell’s genetic material-cell DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Seroconversion illness. Some people experience a short illness soon after they contract HIV. The asymptomatic stage of HIV. Once seroconversion is over, most people feel fine and don’t experience any symptoms. Symptomatic HIV. Late-stage HIV.
