Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retroviruses are unique in that they carry an RNA genome that must be reverse transcribed into DNA before it can be integrated into the host cell genome. Reverse transcription is the process of creating DNA from an RNA template, which is the opposite of the normal process of transcription that occurs in cells, where RNA is synthesized from DNA. Therefore, the correct answer is B) transcription.
