Retroviruses
What is a non-retroviral virus?
Retroviruses are a class of RNA virus that use Reverse transcription to convert their RNA to DNA for their infection.
What causes of mutation in living organisms?

Do retroviruses cause Hepititis B?
yes retroviruses cause hepatitis b,they are RNA virus .
What retroviruses are currently known as carcinogens?
Retroviruses are a specific class of virus that infect animals and people by writing their genetic code into the DNA of the animal or human host. Some (but not all) retroviruses cause cancer, either by directly interfering with a part of the host's DNA that prevents cancer or by encouraging the expression of a part of the host's DNA that starts or enhances cancer.
What viruses cause disease?
retroviruses
What has the author Reinhard Kurth written?
Reinhard Kurth has written: 'Retroviruses' -- subject(s): Genomics, Retroviruses, Genetics, Retroviridae, Pathogenicity
What is the origin of retrovirus?
Evolution is origin of retroviruses .
What do all pathogens have in common?
Retroviruses reverse the central dogma of biology, which states that DNA is transcribed into RNA. Through an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, retroviruses have RNA as their genetic material, and this RNA is transcribed into DNA-- this is what i got for the same question (my bio homework hope its right)
Virus that have RNA as their genetic material are known as?
retroviruses
What is a virus that attacks DNA?
retroviruses attack the dna
Viruses such as AIDS polio and flu in length are?
retroviruses
What kingdom are retroviruses in?
They are not part of any kingdom as they are not alive.
What is an antiretroviral?
An antiretroviral is a drug which combats infection by retroviruses.
