A
Synthesizes DNA from an RNA template
B
Synthesizes lipids from a carbohydrate template
C
Synthesizes proteins from an RNA template
D
Synthesizes RNA from a DNA template
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the role of reverse transcriptase: Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme used by retroviruses to replicate their genomes.
Understand the process of reverse transcription: This enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of DNA from an RNA template, a process known as reverse transcription.
Differentiate between the options: Compare the given options to the known function of reverse transcriptase.
Eliminate incorrect options: Reverse transcriptase does not synthesize lipids or proteins, nor does it synthesize RNA from DNA.
Select the correct option: The correct function of reverse transcriptase is to synthesize DNA from an RNA template.
