Viral Infections
Viruses are abundantly found, minute entities that have genetic material enclosed within a protein coat. The proteinaceous material enclosing the genetic material of the virus is called a capsid. The genetic material could be either DNA (deoxyribonucleic…
Question

What is the role of reverse transcriptase in the reproductive cycle
of HIV and other retroviruses?

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

The virus is the subatomic particle that does not replicates independently and depends on host cells. It consists of a protein coat enclosing the nucleic acid that may be DNA or RNA. The virus follows the replicative cycle that includes the steps such as attachment, entry, integration, synthesis of viral components, assembly of virus and release of new virus.
