KROK 1 2017 – Question 62 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
T-lymphocytes are determined to be affected with HIV. In this case viral enzyme reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent DNA-polymerase) catalyzes the synthesis of:
- A. Viral protein based on the viral RNA matrix
- B. Viral RNA based on the DNA matrix
- C. DNA based on the viral RNA matrix
- D. Informational RNA based on the viral protein matrix
- E. Viral DNA based on the DNA matrix
Hint
Read the enzyme's full name in the stem carefully and decide which nucleic acid serves as its template and which one it produces.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
