Question

difference between retrovirus and DNA virus.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A DNA virus is a virus in which the genetic information is stored in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It replicates using a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase. The nucleic acid is usually double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) but may also be single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Examples of DNA viruses are the herpes simplex virus and the poxvirus.

Retroviruses use their RNA and a special enzyme called reverse transcriptase to create DNA, which then specifies RNA, which in turn creates proteins. The retrovirus then integrates its viral DNA into the DNA of the host cell, which enables replication of the retrovirus. The extra step makes retroviruses more prone to mutation than most viruses, causes them to evolve more quickly than other viruses. This process makes the HIV retrovirus, the best-known human retroviral disease that causes AIDS, very resistant to treatment. Other examples of retroviruses are human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and human T-lymphotropic virus type 2 (HTLV-II), which are both transmitted between people through sexual contact, infected blood or tissue exposure, or during pregnancy or childbirth from an infected mother to her child.

Answer 2

Answer:

DNA virus has dna as its genome nuclear capsid

Explanation:

while retrovirus contain RNA instead DNA

but it inject DNA in the host ny using an enzyme reverse transcriptase
