The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect statements about AIDS, we will analyze each statement one by one: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: AIDS is caused by a retrovirus that has two molecules of single-stranded RNA as its genome.** - **Analysis:** AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which is indeed a retrovirus. However, it has two single strands of RNA, not two molecules. This statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement II: AIDS can be successfully treated using anti-retroviral drugs.** - **Analysis:** While anti-retroviral drugs can help manage HIV infection and prolong the life of an individual, they do not cure AIDS. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Statement III: Macrophages act as a viral factory as it leads to the continuous production of new viral particles.** - **Analysis:** HIV infects macrophages and uses them to replicate, effectively turning them into factories for producing new viral particles. This statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement IV: In AIDS, a decrease in B-lymphocyte count is seen.** - **Analysis:** HIV primarily targets T-helper cells, which play a crucial role in the immune response, including the activation of B-lymphocytes. While T-helper cells decrease, B-lymphocyte counts may not necessarily decrease directly due to HIV. This statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statements regarding AIDS are: - **Statement II**: AIDS can be successfully treated using anti-retroviral drugs. - **Statement IV**: In AIDS, a decrease in B-lymphocyte count is seen. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statements are **II and IV**. ---

In the first biological applicativon of bucky ball , chemists at the University of Califorminaat San F Francisoc and Santa Barbra made a discovery in 1993 that could help I designing drugs to rtreat AIDS . The human immunodeficienrcy virus (HIV) that causes AIES reproduces by syntheising a long protein chain , which is cut into smaller segments by an enzymecalled HiV-proteases . ONe way to stop AIDS , then might be to inacivate the enzyme. when the chemists reacted a water-soluble derivative of bucky ball with HIV-protease , they found that itbinds to the portion of th enzyme that would ordinarily clareve the repreouctive protein , preventing the HIV virus from reproducing . Consequently the virus could no bnolgre infect the human cells they had frown in the laboratory . The buycky ball compound itself is not a suitable drug for use against AIDS because of potential side effects and delivery difficaultes , but it does provide a model for the development of such drugs Consider following statements about bucky ball : A , It is also called fullerene B: It is also called Buckministerfullerene C: Bucky tubes (made of fullerenes ) are several times stronger than stel whnires D: Bucky ball is a plastic polymer Select correct statement (s) :
