Which of the following is responsible for the rapid mutation of HIV?
A) the functioning of protease enzymes
B) the replication inaccuracy of reverse transcriptase
C) both of these
D) neither of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rapid mutation of HIV is primarily due to the replication inaccuracy of reverse transcriptase, which allows for frequent errors in the copying of its genetic material. While the functioning of protease enzymes is important for the virus's replication and maturation, it is not the main source of its mutation rate.
