Question

CDNA is synthesized from what molecule using an enzyme known as what?

Answer 1

Complementary DNA is synthesised from a single stranded RNA template in a reaction catalysed by the enzyme reverse transcriptase.

Explanation:

This enzyme naturally occurs in retroviruses, operates on a single strand of mRNA, generating its complementary DNA based on the pairing of RNA base pairs to their DNA complements.

cDNA is used in gene cloning or as gene probes or in the creation of cDNA library.
