Question

Explain what happens during reverse transcription.

Answer 1

Answer:

First of all, the reverse transcriptase synthesizes viral DNA from viral RNA, and then from newly made complementary DNA strand. The second replication process occurs when host cellular DNA polymerase replicates the integrated viral DNA. ... Therefore, mutation can occur during one or all of these replication steps.
