What does the enzyme reverse transcriptase do?
A) Using the amino acid sequence of a protein as a template, it
makes an RNA molecule.
B) Using RNA as a template, it makes a DNA molecule.
C) Using RNA as a template, it makes an RNA molecule.
D) Using DNA as a template, it makes an RNA molecule.
E) Using DNA as a template, it makes a DNA molecule.
I believe the correct answer to be:
Option B) Using the RNA as a template, it makes a DNA molecule.
It is generally used by the viruses to incorporate their genetic information that is present in RNA form into the DNA of the host by converting their RNA information into DNA information.

HIV uses the reverse transcriptase enzymes to make A, Dna from a dna template B. Dna from an rna template c. rna from an rna template d rna from a dna template
A peptide from a novel bacterial protein was isolated and sequenced. The amino acid sequence is NH2-Leu-Met-Pro-Tyr-Ser-Ala-Ala-Pro-Cys-Leu-Trp-Glu-Ala-Gly-Asp-Arg-COOH. To verify and clone the gene encoding this protein from this uncharacterized bacterium, a student has to purify the bacterial genomic DNA and use it as the template to isolate the DNA fragment that encodes this peptide using PCR. The student plans to design a pair of oligonucleotides as the forward and reverse primers to PCR the DNA fragment that encodes this peptide....
