Accepted Answer

Hi, everyone. Welcome back. And let's look at our next question. Which of the following processes accurately describes reverse transcription. A sticky ends are joined using restriction enzymes. B DNA template is used to produce RN A CRN A template is used to produce DNA or DRN A template is directly replicated to produce RNA. Well, the name here helps us to remember this pretty easily. We have reverse transcription. So what is normal transcription? Normal transcription is that, you know, regular process in our body that produces RN A from a DNA template. So that rules out choice B DNA template is used to produce RN A because this is normal transcription. So then it's just very logical that reverse transcription is choice C an RN A template is used to produce DNA. So the direct opposite of the normal process and this is used in retroviruses. So retroviruses have RN A as their genetic code and then reverse transcriptase makes a DNA molecule from that RN A template. And that DNA is actually incorporated into host cell DNA. You also sometimes use reverse transcription in some lab techniques where you have RN A and want to generate DNA from it just to be thorough and go look at our other answer. Choices. Choice, a sticky ends are joined using restriction enzymes. Well, this is a technique used in cloning. So it's used in, you know, molecular biology in what we'd say is DNA manipulation. So you have this usefulness of these restriction enzymes that make these complementary sticky ends. So you can cut up and then piece together different pieces of DNA very straightforwardly but that is not reverse transcription. So not our answer. Lemon choice. DRN A template is directly replicated to produce RN A. While some viruses use what's called the enzyme RN A dependent RN A polymerase to do this. They have RNAs or genetic code. And rather than using reverse transcriptase, they use this RN A dependent RN a polymerase to copy their genome. But this is not reverse transcription because reverse is specifically meaning the reverse of the normal process. So that is choice CRN A template is used to produce DNA. See on the next video.
