In some viruses, DNA is synthesised by using RNA as a template. Such DNA is called:
a. A-DNA
b. B-DNA
c. cDNA
d. rDNA
Complementary DNA or cDNA is double-stranded DNA synthesised from a messenger RNA (m RNA) template in a reaction catalysed by the enzyme reverse transcriptase. Hence, the answer is the option (c) cDNA.
