The virus of AIDS affects the growth of (1) Haemoglobin (2) RBCs in blood (3) T cells in blood (4) Grey cells in brain

1 Answer

Answer :

(3) T cells in blood Explanation: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks and kills crucial immune system cells, known as T-helper cells. A T cell, or T lymphocyte, is a type of lymphocyte (a subtype of white blood cell) that plays a central role in cell-mediated immunity. They are called T cells because they mature in the thymus from thymocytes.
