What else can I help you with?
Retrovirus such as HIV contain an enzyme called?
reverse transcriptase
How does a retrovirus differ from other viruses?
A retrovirus transcribes RNA into DNA, whereas a regular virus transcribes DNA into RNA. (:
The aids virus a retrovirus uses what to read RNA and synthesize the corresponding DNA?
An enzyme called Reverse transcriptase.
What is retrovirus?
A retrovirus is a type of virus that stores its genetic information in the form of RNA instead of DNA. It replicates by converting its RNA into DNA using an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which allows the virus to integrate its genetic material into the host cell's DNA. Examples of retroviruses include HIV and HTLV.
What is the type of virus that codes backwards from RNA to DNA?
That is called a retrovirus. The enzyme used to code in that direction is called reverse transcriptase.
Which enzyme are retroviruses equiped with that allows them to transcribe DNA from an RNA template?
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus. A retrovirus is a RNA virus that replicates through a DNA intermediate. HIV synthesises DNA from RNA by the action of reverse transcriptase enzyme.
Is measles a retrovirus?
No. Though measles contains an RNA genome like retroviruses, it does not have the distinctive enzyme reverse transcriptase, and therefore does not change its genome to DNA before transcription.
A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA is called?
It is called a Retrovirus HIV is an example of a Retrovirus
What type of virus contains reverse transcriptase?
A retrovirus contains reverse transcriptase. This enzyme allows the virus to convert its RNA genome into DNA once inside a host cell, integrating the viral DNA into the host cell's genome for replication. HIV is an example of a retrovirus.
Do retroviruses contain DNA for their genetic material?
Retroviruses contain RNA as their genetic material, not DNA. They are unique because they 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 cell's genome.
What is endogenous retrovirus?
Viruses insert RNA to copy selves. this can take place during pregnancy. Also Insertions are unique to viruses.
Why is the HIV virus called a retrovirus?
HIV is considered a retrovirus because has enzyme reverse transcriptase.HIV has RNA as genetic material.Using reverse transcriptase HIV synthesizes Double strand DNA inside the host cell using host's materials.
