Solution
AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) is caused by a retrovirus called the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV has RNA as its genetic material and carries the gene for reverse transcriptase, using which it makes a DNA copy (cDNA) of its RNA and integrates it into the host cell's DNA.
