Station 1: HIV replication animationWatch the animation below then complete the card sort + questions

Slide 1 of 2

Card sort (complete on sheet first then click for answers)

Virus fuses with the cell’s plasma membrane. Capsid proteins are removed releasing the viral genome

Reverse transcriptase catalyses the synthesis of a DNA strand complementary to the viral RNA

Reverse transcriptase catalyses the synthesis of a second strand of DNA complementary to the first

The double stranded DNA is incorporated as a provirus into the cell’s DNA

Proviral genes are transcribed into RNA molecules

RNA transcribed from the provirus serves as mRNA for translation into HIV proteins and as genomes for the next viral generation

Capsids are assembled around viral genomes and reverse transcriptase molecules

The new viruses bud off from the host cell

Number order = 4,7,2,5,6,3,8,1
