Clarify Question
· What is the key concept addressed by the question?
o This question addresses HIV.
· What type of thinking is required?
o This question is asking you to take what you already know and apply it to this unfamiliar situation.
Gather Content
· What do you already know about HIV?
o HIV is a retrovirus with an RNA genome. The RNA is reverse transcribed into DNA, then after a latent period it is transcribed back into RNA.
Choose Answer
· Given what you now know, what information and/or problem solving approach is most likely to produce the correct answer?
o The HIV viral particle consists of an RNA genome inside a protein capsid, also containing reverse transcriptase, all within a viral envelope.
o However, the HIV viral particle does not contain complementary DNA. The DNA copy of the genome is only present within the host cell during the latent period.
Reflect on Process
· Did your problem-solving process lead you to the correct answer? If not, where did the process break down or lead you astray? How can you revise your approach to produce a more desirable result?
o The question required you to take what you already know and apply it to this unfamiliar situation.
o Did you recognize that as a retrovirus HIV has an RNA genome, not a DNA genome?
