Sketch the diagrammatic representation of replication of retrovirus inside on animal cell.

Open in App

Solution

Retroviruses infect the host cell and inject their genetic material, RNA, into the host cell. Inside the host cell, viral DNA is produced from the viral RNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase which used RNA as a template to synthesise DNA. The viral DNA gets incorporated into the host genome and is replicated as the host genome replicates. Viral RNA is the produced from the replicated viral DNA by transcription which then forms new virus particles. The viruses are then released which infect other cells.
