What happens when RNA is extracted from a virus is injected into a host cell?

Without the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase probable nothing. RNA viruses are retroviruses because they nee reverse tanscriptase to make a DNA copy from the RNA that is inserted into the cell. Generally to form a provirus. Now if you injected DNA from a regular virus then it would be as if the virus did it itself.
