Retrotransposons and retroviruses have structural parallels.Which of the following also shares structural parallels with them?
A) tRNA
B) dsDNA
C) rRNA
D) mRNA
E) plasmid DNA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retrotransposons and retroviruses are RNA-based elements that use reverse transcriptase to convert their RNA genome into DNA for integration into the host genome. Similarly, mRNA is also an RNA molecule that is reverse transcribed by retroviruses to create a DNA copy. This structural similarity is not shared by tRNA, dsDNA, rRNA, or plasmid DNA.
