Question

Which statement among A-C is false concerning retroviruses: A. The information flow of such viruses is: DNA to RNA to protein. B. They can form a provirus. C. They can remain in the provirus state while simultaneously initiating production of new viral particles. D. None of A-C is false; they are all true statements

Answer 1

The statement 'the information flow of such viruses is: DNA to RNA to protein' is FALSE (Option A). These viruses are composed of an RNA genome.

A retrovirus is a type of virus capable of inserting a copy of its RNA genome into the DNA of the host cell by an enzyme called transcriptase inverse.

Retroviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses that use a double-stranded DNA molecule as an intermediate for their replication.

For this purpose, a retrovirus uses the host molecular machinery when it invades a host cell.
