Retroviruses are a class of RNA virus that use Reverse transcription to convert their RNA to DNA for their infection.
The synthesis of mRNA from DNA is called transcription.
It is called reverse-transcription but the RNA is viral RNA and it infects the cell when it reverses to DNA.
The enzyme, reverse transcriptase, uses an RNA template to create DNA. Then transcription is done normally to recreate an RNA template and then have it expressed as a polypeptide. By adding this extra step, the chance of mutations is greater so this process is important for quicker adaptations. For example, HIV uses reverse transcriptase and carries RNA instead of DNA.
Scientists already knew the amino acid code for insulin.
In normal transcription DNA is converted to RNA .reverse transcription is nothing but RNA will be converted to DNA
reverse transcriptase
Rna reverse transcriptase.
no, it is not.
transcription... We are studying DNA and its processes in my Biology class

Reverse Transcription: Converting viral RNA into DNA
The synthesis of mRNA from DNA is called transcription.
It is called reverse-transcription but the RNA is viral RNA and it infects the cell when it reverses to DNA.
When RNA's base sequence is used to determine the base sequence of a new strand of DNA, that is called reverse transcription.This is because the process is the reverse of transcription, which involves copying the base sequence of DNA to form RNA, including messenger RNA (mRNA).
reverse transcription
The reverse transcriptase enzyme is responsible for synthesis of DNA from an RNA template by the process of reverse transcription.
