Answer:

The presence of high pressure and heat favors the formation of metamorphic rocks under the surface of earth.

Explanation:

Metamorphism process leads to the formation of metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed by the transitions of the existing earth's rock.

Metamorphic rocks are formed and remains stable under high temperature and pressure. These physical condition is available under the surface of the earth.

Hence, metamorphic rocks formed under the deep surface of earth.

Answer:

Explanation:

1 .Reverse transcriptase (RT) is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase enzyme which makes DNA from RNA..

2. RT makes double-stranded DNA molecules from ssRNA ( single stranded RNA) molecule using it as a template.

3. Retroviruses like HIV contain Reverse transcpritase (RT) enzyme, which uses the RNA molecule as template and make DNA from it and after that, virus make multiple copies of itself.

4. Reverse transcriptase enzyme make DNA reverse transcrptionally from RNA the process known as RNA dependent DNA polymerase.

5. It was first discovered in retroviruses.
