Which of the following is not necessary for retroviral insertion into the host genome?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retroviral insertion into the host genome requires the actions of retroviral pol gene-encoded enzymes, including reverse transcriptase (which copies viral RNA into DNA), RNase H (which degrades the RNA strand of the RNA-DNA duplex created by reverse transcriptase), and viral protease (which cleaves precursor viral proteins into their functional forms). RNA polymerase II is a host enzyme involved in transcription, but it is not directly required for retroviral insertion into the host genome.
