HIV has nine genes in its RNA genome. Every HIV particle contains two RNA molecules, and each molecule contains all nine genes. If, for some reason, the two RNA molecules within a single HIV particle do not have identical sequences, then which of these terms can be applied due to the existence of the nonidentical regions?
A) homozygous
B) gene variability
C) nucleotide variability
D) average heterozygosity
E) All but one of the responses are correct.
