1.  Describe the steps from viral attachment to translation of the HIV genome in the host 
cell and the role of the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase in the process. 
 Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) can stick with "CD-4" receptor and with a second 
receptor (which loops via cell membrane 7 times) present on T-lymphocyte. This attachment of 
virus with receptors ensures its entry into the T-cell where its RNA participates in the synthesis 
of ds DNA through reverse transcription (governed by Reverse transcriptase enzyme) and thus 
produced DNA may get integrated into the DNA of T- lymphocyte (Donahue et al., 2010). This 
incorporation is facilitated by the viral enzyme Integrase. After activation of T-lymphocyte,
