The viruses in the gammaretrovirus genus use which of the following mechanisms to synthesize the proteins from the pol gene?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gammaretroviruses synthesize the proteins from the pol gene through a mechanism known as read through of a translational stop codon. This process allows the ribosome to bypass a stop codon, enabling the translation of the pol gene to continue into the downstream regions, producing a longer polypeptide that includes the enzymatic functions necessary for viral replication.
