If we are talking about viruses and their RNA genomes(eg:HIV), the negative strand DNA synthesis by reverse transcriptase occurs in the host cells, when the virus infects the host. And then, plus DNA formed by complementing this minus DNA.

The Four Macromolecules include Carbohydrate, Lipids, Nucleic acid, and Protein.

Carbohydrate are

Any of a group of organic compounds that includes sugars, starches, celluloses, and gums and serves as a major energy source in the diet of animals; they are produced by photosynthetic plants and contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, usually in the ratio.

Lipids:

Any of a group of organic compounds, including the fats, oils, waxes, sterols, and triglycerides, that are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar organic solvents, are oily to the touch, and together with carbohydrates and proteins constitute the principal structural material of living cells.

Nucleic acid: Any of a group of complex compounds found in all living cells and viruses, composed of purines, pyrimidines, carbohydrates, and phosphoric acid. Nucleic acids in the form of DNA and RNA control cellular function and heredity.

Protein: Any of a group of complex organic macromolecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and usually sulfur and are composed of chains of alpha-amino acids. Proteins are fundamental components of all living cells and include many substances, such as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies, that are necessary to the functioning of an organism. They are essential in the diet of animals for the growth and repair of tissue and can be obtained from foods such as meat, fish, eggs, milk, and legumes.

Barbara spent years of research and after a very careful study of many generation. In 1944 McClintock recognized Jumping of DNA, which refer to unstable of DNA to move around between the chromosomes. But for many years her theory was disregarded.

In 1983, the theory of jumping DNA or which is known today "Transposable" was confirmed. In 1983 McClintock was awarded The Nobel Prize in Genetics for the discovery of genetic transposition.

The main purpose of DNA is to store and retain your genetic information. DNA contains the biological information needed to construct and maintain a living organism. It contains all the information to make the enzymes needed for all the chemical reactions taking place in your body. DNA makes you who you are. It has all your heredity info, like your hair and eye color, your height, your blood type, your personality, etc. No two person's DNA is exactly the same, not even twins, and your DNA will change over time. DNA also serves as an efficient way of passing along your genetic information to your offspring.

To get information on yourself or someone else.

Many enzymes consist of a protein and a non-protein (called the cofactor). The proteins in enzymes are usually globular. They have tertiary structure and this type of globular protein includes immunoglobins, as well. The structures are held in place by hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges and ionic bonds.

Though shaped like a spiral ladder it consists of two helical polymers if it was to be unwound. On the outside of the ladder is phosphate and sugars, and in the middle are the bases associated in pairs, one base coming from one helical strand and one from the opposite helical strand.
