This is reverse transcriptase. HIV drugs that block this part of the HIV lifecycle are called reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Which enables DNA to be synthesize from RNA?

The reverse transcriptase enzyme is responsible for synthesis of DNA from an RNA template by the process of reverse transcription.


What do you call viruses with the enzyme reverse transcriptase?

Retroviruses are considered a special class of viruses because they transcribe RNA to DNA using reverse transcriptase. HIV uses reverse transcription to synthesize a DNA strand using its RNA genome as a template.


What enzyme do you need to get a copy of DNA from mRNA?

The enzyme needed to make a DNA copy of RNA (including mRNA) is called reverse transcriptase. This enzyme is capable of synthesizing a complementary DNA strand from an RNA template, which is the first step in generating a cDNA (complementary DNA) library.


What is the enzyme that uses one strand of DNA as a template to assemble nucleotides into a strand of RNA?

RNA polymerase is the enzyme that uses one strand of DNA as a template to assemble nucleotides into a strand of RNA during transcription.


The aids virus a retrovirus uses what to read RNA and synthesize the corresponding DNA?

An enzyme called Reverse transcriptase.


Name of the DNA strand which is copied to make mRNA?

The DNA strand that is copied to make mRNA is the template strand of the gene. This strand serves as a template for the RNA polymerase enzyme to synthesize a complementary mRNA strand during the process of transcription.


RNA polymerases are transcripted by which enzyme?

You seem confused. RNA polymerase is the enzyme that transcribes DNA into pre mRNA. So, the enzyme would transcribe the messenger RNA for its own protein construction.


What is the Enzyme that assembles DNA nucleotides into polynucleotides using an existing DNA template?

DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for assembling DNA nucleotides into polynucleotides using an existing DNA template. It adds complementary nucleotides to the template strand during DNA replication.


What enzyme reads the DNA template?

Various DNA polymerases read the DNA template during replication of DNA. Various RNA polymerases read the DNA template during transcription.


What does RNA polymerase use one strand of DNA as?

No. All strands can be replicated, just depends on where the enzyme decides to land and unzip it. Anyways, all DNA molecules would be adequate templates since they are all identical copies of each other.


What enzyme converts RNA to DNA?

The enzyme that converts RNA to DNA is called reverse transcriptase. This enzyme is commonly found in retroviruses and is utilized in the process of reverse transcription, where RNA is used as a template to synthesize a complementary DNA strand.


What is the enzyme responsible for reading the DNA template and adding complementary base pairs during the process of DNA replication?

The enzyme responsible for reading the DNA template and adding complementary base pairs during DNA replication is called DNA polymerase.
