The Reaction Catalyzed by Reverse Transcriptase Is

Question

The reaction catalyzed by reverse transcriptase is
A)DNA → mRNA.
B)mRNA → cDNA.
C)mRNA → protein.
D)DNA → DNA.
E)tRNA → mRNA.

Accepted Answer

Reverse transcriptase catalyzes the conversion of RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA) by reverse transcription. This involves the synthesis of a single-stranded cDNA molecule that serves as a template for the synthesis of a complementary DNA strand.
