Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retroviruses are RNA viruses that use reverse transcriptase enzyme to copy their RNA genome into DNA, which is then integrated into the host cell's genome as a provirus. Their replication cycle requires this provirus to be transcribed back into RNA, which can then be used to produce new virus particles.
