Retroviruses do not follow central Dogma. Comment.

Answers (1)

Francis and Crick proposed the central conviction in molecular biology. According to this, genetic information flows from DNA —> RNA —> Protein. In retroviruses, genetic information flows in the reverse direction, i.e. Protein to RNA to DNA. Hence, it is said that retroviruses do not follow central coniction.

The process followed by retroviruses is also called reverse transcription because of the opposite sequence of the process involved.
