What is the defining enzyme associated with retroviruses?

Show Answers

An enzyme that degrades RNAAn enzyme that synthesizes DNA from RNAAn enzyme that replicates DNAAn enzyme that cuts DNA at specific sites

Explanation

Retroviruses are uniquely characterized by the presence of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that enables the conversion of their RNA genome into DNA, which can then integrate into the host's genome. This distinguishes them from other viruses that do not possess this enzyme.
