Solution
Central Dogma:
Central Dogma is the process of transmission of genetic information from DNA to RNA then to proteins.

Retroviruses do not follow central dogma. They have two single stranded RNAs as their genetic material and have reverse transcriptase enzymes.
They infect cells with DNA and show reverse transcription by forming DNA from RNA to use the metabolic machinery of the cell they are infecting.
