Identify the enzyme that catalyses the step labelled as 'M' in the given schematic representation of replication of retrovirus.
- A Reverse Transcripaste
- B RNA polymerase
- C Recombinase
- D DNA ligase
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Reverse Transcripaste
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) Reverse Transcripaste,
Reverse transcriptase, also called RNA-directed DNA polymerase, an enzyme encoded from the genetic material of retroviruses that catalyst the transcription of retrovirus RNA (ribonucleic acid) into DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
