Which of the following is/are true about Retrovirus?
Updated On: Jan 9, 2025
- It contains double-stranded RNA genome
- It can cause cancer
- It contains reverse transcriptase
- It contains double-stranded DNA genome
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B, C
Solution and Explanation
Retroviruses, such as HIV, possess reverse transcriptase, which converts RNA into DNA during infection. They can integrate into the host genome, sometimes leading to oncogenesis. They do not have a double-stranded RNA or DNA genome; their genome is single-stranded RNA
