the workshop for manufacturing proteins

Question 6

What’s the role of DNA?

Answer 6

tells the cells how to assemble amino acids to form protein substances. DNA= cookbook

Question 7

Steps on how HIV infects the body

Answer 7

1. HIV enters body cells (T-cells), and manipulates DNA
2. Infected cell (T-cells ) produce more HIV ( instead of proteins)
3. Virus replicates rapidly
4. Immune system recognizes cells (t-cells) are compromised and destroys them
   Causes the immune system/ immunity host to be compromised leading to opportunistic infections

Question 8

Role of T-Cells

Answer 8

directly killing infected host cells
activating other immune cells to fight
regulating the immune response
