Function of reverse transcriptase -: (A) RNA dependent DNA synthesis, (B) DNA dependent RNA synthesis, (C) DNA dependent DNA synthesis, (D) RNA dependent RNA synthesis
Answer is A. Ans. is 'a' i.e., RNA dependent DNA synthesis o Reverse transcriptase is an RNA dependent DNA polymerase that produces ds DNA from RNA template. It moves along the template in 3' - 5' direction, synthesizing DNA is 5' - 3' directiono It is seen in retro viruses (e.g. HIV).
