You might be referring to the reverse-transcription that many retroviruses use (a virus with an RNA that turns into DNA). By using the enzyme reverse transcriptase, viruses like HIV can make a DNA from RNA template.

Why retro virus is RNA virus?
Because retro virus has only RNA as genetic material. Its replication is in reversal order known as Reverse Transcriptase.
Which virus is transcribed from RNA to DNA to RNA during the replication cycle?
The general class of these viruses is retrovirus.
Why rna virus is more mutant than dna virus?
during replication RNA-polimeraze it make a lot of erros.In this ways RNA viruses it mutate faster than DNa viruses.
How is retrovirus different from DNA virus?
Retro virus has reverse transcription in its replication cycle. In other words, rna is template for synthesis of dna. With dna virus, there is no reverse transcription in the replication cycle. Dna is the template for dna synthesis.
Is yellow fever virus DNA or RNA?
Yellow fever is a single stranded RNA virus (ssRNA)
What is it called when a DNA copies itself?
DNA replication
Why is it important for RNA to be smaller then DNA?
Because RNA is the replication of DNA.
Is herpes a DNA virus or RNA virus?
AIDS is not a virus. However, HIV is a RNA virus.
What does a cell and virus have in common?
What a cell and a virus have in common is the RNA or DNA. The virus can be either a RNA virus or a DNA virus.
What disease is caused by an RNA virus?
Rabies is caused by RNA virus.
The Cell uses three forms of RNA in the process of DNA replication?
Ribosomal RNA, Transfer RNA, and Messenger RNA
Viruses contain DNA and RNA true or false?
Yes. Although not both together, a virus contains a nucleic acid, either single stranded or double stranded DNA or RNA.
