Question

what is retro transcription and reverse transcription?

Answer 1

Answer:

Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).Reverse transcription is the process which synthesizes cDNA from an RNA template in retroviruses. RNA polymerase is involved intranscription.

A reverse transcriptase (RT) is an enzyme used to generate complementary DNA (cDNA) from an RNA template, a process termedreverse transcription. ... In retroviruses and retrotransposons, this cDNA can then integrate into the host genome, from which new RNA copies can be made via host-cell transcription.
