The enzyme needed to make a DNA copy of RNA (including mRNA) is called reverse transcriptase. This enzyme is capable of synthesizing a complementary DNA strand from an RNA template, which is the first step in generating a cDNA (complementary DNA) library.
When genes are altered by a deadly virus, it can disrupt normal cellular functions, leading to disease. The altered genes may result in abnormal protein production, immune system evasion, or cellular transformation. This can ultimately lead to the development of severe symptoms and potentially fatal outcomes.
RNA polymerase is the enzyme needed for transcription to take place. It catalyzes the synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA template.
Enzyme restriction acts as a defense mechanism by cutting viral DNA at specific recognition sites, preventing the virus from replicating effectively in the host cell. This limits the virus's ability to spread and cause infection.
The enzyme responsible for inserting viral DNA into the host's chromosomal DNA is called integrase. Integrase plays a crucial role in the integration of the viral genome into the host cell's DNA, allowing the virus to replicate and persist within the host cell.
Retroviruses are equipped with the enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which transcribes RNA into DNA. This enzyme is crucial for the retroviral life cycle as it allows the virus to integrate its genetic material into the host cell's genome.
DNA helicase
A retrovirus transcribes RNA into DNA, whereas a regular virus transcribes DNA into RNA. (:
When RNA from a virus is injected into a host cell, the cell's machinery will use that viral RNA as a template to produce viral proteins. This may lead to the replication of the virus within the host cell, ultimately causing the infection to spread.
The enzyme needed to make a DNA copy of RNA (including mRNA) is called reverse transcriptase. This enzyme is capable of synthesizing a complementary DNA strand from an RNA template, which is the first step in generating a cDNA (complementary DNA) library.
A retrovirus is a type of RNA virus that uses the enzyme reverse transcriptase to convert its RNA genome into DNA once inside a host cell. This DNA is then integrated into the host cell's genome, allowing the virus to replicate along with the host cell. Examples of retroviruses include HIV and HTLV.
The enzyme that manufactures DNA complementary to the virus's RNA is called reverse transcriptase. Reverse transcriptase converts the viral RNA into DNA, which can then be integrated into the host cell's genome. This process is a key step in the replication cycle of retroviruses like HIV.

The altered genes may result in abnormal protein production, immune system evasion, or cellular transformation. This can ultimately lead to the development of severe symptoms and potentially fatal outcomes.
