The reverse transcriptase is an enzime used to generate some DNA. When it was first isolated, it was a major breakthrough in microbiology, enough to be rewarded a Nobel prize.

How do retrovirsus produce DNA from and rna blueprint?

Simply by taking the loose nucleotides of DNA in the cell's cytosol and using the enzyme reverse transcriptase to make a DNA from the RNA template. Retroviruses are carrying their own reverse transcriptase to do this very thing.
