Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Retrovirus’.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Retrovirus’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Retroviruses differ from other viruses in that each virion contains two complete copies of the single-stranded RNA genome.
Detailed explanation-4: -Also, retrovirus virions contain a novel polymerase, commonly called reverse transcriptase, that uses the viral RNA as a template to synthesize DNA (so, it is an “RNA-dependent DNA polymerase").
