Question

What do you mean by reverse transcription?

Answer 1

Hi

Here devil1407,

Reverse transcription (which occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes) is the synthesis of DNA from an RNA template. A class of RNA viruses, called retroviruses, are characterized by the presence of an RNA‐dependent DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase). The virus that causes AIDS, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), is a retrovirus. Because nuclear cell division doesn't use reverse transcriptase, the most effective anti‐HIV drugs target reverse transcriptase, either its synthesis or its activity. Telomerase, discussed in the previous section, is a specialized reverse transcriptase enzyme.

Hope it helps U
