Hello, my name is mistyke, and it is a pleasure to answer your questions tonight.
00:05
So, why is the enzyme reverse transcript days important in both genetics as well as viral replication? excuse me, in your answer, you must include a definition and explanation on how the enzyme works.
00:23
What is the relevance of this enzyme in the study of biology and the central dogma? give an example of the virus relevant to public health worldwide in current times.
00:38
Reverse transcript days, so let's call it rt.
00:43
Reverse transcript days transcribes rna and turns it into dna.
01:02
This is very important because it goes against what the central dogma typically says we, see in a sale.
01:10
In a cell, typically we'll see dna goes to rna, then that goes to protein.
01:19
But remember, some viruses, so i'll just type this out as well.
01:25
So some viruses, their genetic material, so the genetic material of viruses sometimes are rna.
01:45
And so in order for the virus to, have its host make the machinery that it needs in order to create progeny, it needs to get its genetic material into the host's genetic material so that when the host uses the central dogma to transcribe from dna to rna to protein, that those viral proteins can be made.
02:14
Because remember, the eukaryotic cell, it's going to, going to use the central dogma.
02:21
But if the virus has genetic material that's rna, it needs to be transcribed into dna.
02:27
One of the viruses that does this or has reverse transcript days is the virus that is responsible for hiv, which can lead to aids...
