In the biochemistry of a normal cell such as a human cell, there is DNA in the center, which synthesizes RNA which creates a template for protein synthesis, which is the basis for everything that the cell can do. Most viruses are also composed of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). If virus is composed of RNA (ribonucleic acid), it is in a sense backward, because it starts with RNA, when it is more usual to start with DNA and then proceed to RNA.

Which types of viruses codes backwards from RNA to DNA?
Retroviruses are a type of virus that contain RNA as their genetic material and use an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to convert their RNA into DNA once inside a host cell. This DNA is then integrated into the host's genome and can be replicated along with the host cell's DNA. Examples of retroviruses include HIV and some types of cancer-causing viruses.
What is called the group of viruses having both dna and rna?
The group of viruses that have both DNA and RNA in their genome are known as retroviruses. Retroviruses have RNA as their genetic material, but use an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to transcribe their RNA into DNA once they infect a host cell. Examples of retroviruses include HIV and HTLV.
Retroviruses such as HIV contains what enzyme that enables DNA to be synthesized from rna?
Retroviruses such as HIV contain the enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which enables the synthesis of DNA from RNA. This DNA integrates into the host cell genome, allowing the virus to replicate and persist in the host.
RNA viruses are also called?
Viruses with RNA as their genetic material are called retroviruses. They use the enzyme reversetranscriptase to transcribe their RNA genome into DNA, which is then inserted into the host's genome.
What is the size of a retrovirus?
Retroviruses are approximately 80-100 nanometers in size, making them relatively small compared to other types of viruses.

Do retroviruses cause Hepititis B?
yes retroviruses cause hepatitis b,they are RNA virus .
What viruses cause disease?
retroviruses
What has the author Reinhard Kurth written?
Reinhard Kurth has written: 'Retroviruses' -- subject(s): Genomics, Retroviruses, Genetics, Retroviridae, Pathogenicity
What is the origin of retrovirus?
Evolution is origin of retroviruses .
What kingdom are retroviruses in?
They are not part of any kingdom as they are not alive.
Viruses such as AIDS polio and flu in length are?
retroviruses
Virus that have RNA as their genetic material are known as?
retroviruses
What is an antiretroviral?
An antiretroviral is a drug which combats infection by retroviruses.
What is a virus that attacks DNA?
retroviruses attack the dna
What has the author Jaquelin Dudley written?
Jaquelin Dudley has written: 'Retroviruses and insights into cancer' -- subject(s): Retroviruses, Viral carcinogenesis, Oncogenic viruses, Retroviridae, Oncogenic Viruses
What do Retroviruses and Hepadnaviruses have in common?
Retroviruses and Hepadnaviruses are both types of viruses that utilize reverse transcription in their replication processes. They possess single-stranded RNA (in the case of retroviruses) or partially double-stranded DNA (in the case of hepadnaviruses) as their genetic material. Both classes of viruses can integrate their genetic material into the host genome, leading to persistent infections. Additionally, they are associated with significant human diseases, such as HIV for retroviruses and hepatitis B for hepadnaviruses.
