Q. Which one of the following makes use of RNA template to synthesise DNA?

A) DNA polymerase
B) RNA polymerase
C) Reverse transcriptase
D) DNA dependant RNA polymerase
Explanation

Refer to answer (Transcription Translation DNA mRNA Protein This one-way flow of information from DNA to mRNA and then to protein is called the central dogma of molecular biology by F.H.C. Crick (1958). But later on two American workers H. Temin and D. Baltimore reported that DNA is also formed from RNA in retroviruses, e.g., HIV. This is called reverse transcription or teminism, i.e., Translation Protein This reverse transcription occurs under the influence of reverse transcriptase enzyme. So, HIV viruses does not follow central dogma).
