Question

Enzyme found in retroviruses that produce dna from an rna template. True or False

Answer 1

Answer:

True

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.
