When HIV enters into the body of a person, it moves into macrophages where RNA genome of the virus replicates to form viral DNA with the help of enzyme reverse transcriptase.

Q. Viral $D N A$ after being converted from viral $RN A$ by $X$ , incorporates into host genome to undergo replication. What is ' $X$ '?

$D N A$ polymerase

Restriction endonuclease

$RN A$ polymerase

Reverse transcriptase

When $H I V$ enters into the body of a person, it moves into macrophages where $RN A$ genome of the virus replicates to form viral $D N A$ with the help of enzyme reverse transcriptase.
