What does the enzyme reverse transcriptase do?
A) Using the amino acid sequence of a protein as a template, it
makes an RNA molecule.
B) Using RNA as a template, it makes a DNA molecule.
C) Using RNA as a template, it makes an RNA molecule.
D) Using DNA as a template, it makes an RNA molecule.
E) Using DNA as a template, it makes a DNA molecule.
I believe the correct answer to be:
Option B) Using the RNA as a template, it makes a DNA molecule.
It is generally used by the viruses to incorporate their genetic information that is present in RNA form into the DNA of the host by converting their RNA information into DNA information.

Retroviruses use the enzyme reverse transcriptase to Retroviruses use the enzyme reverse transcriptase to synthesize a hybrid molecule with one DNA stranded base-paired to the complementary RNA strand. synthesize double-stranded RNA. direct the production of DNA from a single-stranded RNA genome. transcribe mRNA from a DNA genome. synthesize sense-stranded mRNA from an antisense RNA genome.

HIV uses the reverse transcriptase enzymes to make A, Dna from a dna template B. Dna from an rna template c. rna from an rna template d rna from a dna template
HIV's genome of RNA includes the code for reverse transcriptase (RT), an enzyme that acts early in infection to synthesize a DNA genome off of an RNA template. The HIV genome also codes for protease (PR), an enzyme that acts later in infection by cutting long viral polyproteins into smaller, functional proteins. Both RT and PR represent potential targets for antiretroviral drugs. Drugs called nucleoside analogs (NA) act against RT, whereas drugs called protease inhibitors (PI) act against PR. Which...
