During replication of retrovirus
- A viral protein is introduced in the host cell.
- B viral RNA is introduced into the host cell.
- C viral DNA is introduced into the host cell.
- D transcriptase enzyme is introduced into the host cell.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) viral RNA is introduced into the host cell.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) viral RNA is introduced into the host cell.,
Inside the host cell, virus sheds its protein coat. A viral enzyme called reverse transcriptase reads the viral RNA strand and males a DNA copy. The viral DNA copy then becomes integrated into the host cell's.
