Answer» CORRECT choice is (b) Macrophages Explanation: When the VIRUS attacks the immune system of the BODY, it gets into the macrophages where the RNA genome of the virus replicates to form the viral DNA. This viral DNA gets incorporated into the host cell’s DNA and directs the infected cells to PRODUCE virus particles. The macrophages continue to produce virus and in this way acts LIKE HIV factory. |
