Use the following information to answer the questions below.
HIV's genome of RNA includes code for reverse transcriptase (RT), an enzyme that acts early in infection to synthesize a DNA genome off of an RNA template. The HIV genome also codes for protease (PR), an enzyme that acts later in infection by cutting long viral polyproteins into smaller, functional proteins. Both RT and PR represent potential targets for antiretroviral drugs. Drugs called nucleoside analogs (NA) act against RT, whereas drugs called protease inhibitors (PI) act against PR.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proofreading capability of DNA polymerases reduces the introduction of genetic variation by mutations. This means that errors made during DNA replication are corrected, leading to a more accurate replication of the genome. This reduces the likelihood of mutations occurring and therefore reduces genetic variation. Choices A, B, and D are not relevant to the topic of DNA polymerase proofreading capability.
