Question

Which of the following statement is not true in case of DNA Polymerase- Reverse transcriptase? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: Reverse transcriptase is involved in the replication of several kinds of viruses. Reverse transcriptase is unique in that it uses as a template not DNA but RNA.

Answer 2

Reverse transcriptase is known as RNA dependent DNA polymerase and double stranded DNA is transcribed into single stranded DNA.

• DNA polymerase enzyme transcribes single-stranded Ribonucleicacid to deoxyribonucleic acid.
• Capable of inserting genome where ever it is required.
• Yields, in the cytoplasm, a straight DNA duplex via an intricate series of steps.
• HIV is the most well-known example of Retroviruses, but most commonly it is seen in all human beings too
• It is used to generate a DNA complimentary stand and RNA template.
