A retrovirus differs from a typical virus primarily in its method of replication. While most viruses inject their genetic material directly into a host cell, retroviruses use reverse transcription to convert their RNA genome into DNA after entering the host cell. This viral DNA is then integrated into the host's genome, allowing it to replicate along with the host's DNA. This unique replication process is a key characteristic that sets retroviruses apart from other types of viruses.
