Concept explainers

Viral Replication

The virus is acellular and considered non-living outside the host cell. The replication of the virus occurs only inside the living cells. Only a few genes are present in the smallest virus, whereas many genes are present in the largest virus. These genes encode specific viral proteins.

Question

Retroviruses are dependent on reverse transcriptase, which does which of the following?
Transcribes RNA backward (3' to 5' instead of 5' to 3')
None of these are correct.
Creates transcripts from an RNA template
Creates a DNA copy of an RNA template.
