Pleаse see belоw а diаgram оf the retrоviral RNA genome structure and the corresponding DNA provirus. I have labelled several loci with arrows and numbers. Please complete the numbered and lettered lists in the box below with the corresponding RNA and DNA cis-regulatory elements for red arrows (1-6) and genomic regions with blue arrows (A-D). Note that cis-regulatory elements contain those required for RT and for expression of the provirus after integration. (8 points) Based on the depiction above, briefly in a paragraph with or without illustration describe the main steps of the Reverse Transcription process whereby the genomic RNA is copied into double stranded DNA. Please refer to the main cis-regulatory elements and their function during Reverse Transcription. (8 points)
