Answer 2

║⊕ANSWER⊕║

Option C) Reverse Transcription is the answer

SOLUTION

• The enzyme which facilitates this process is reverse transcriptase.

It works 'backwards' from RNA to DNA.

This process is commonly used to produce complementary DNA.

• In genetics, complementary DNA (cDNA) is DNA synthesized from a single-stranded RNA.

NOTE

cDNA is often used to clone eukaryotic genes in prokaryotes.

cDNA also does not contain any other gDNA that does not directly code for a protein

• it does not contain introns due to being formed from mRNA.

Parts of the gene sequence that are not expressed in the protein are called introns.
