-
Retroviruses are implicated as a cause for cancer in humans because they
-
- carry gene for reverse transcriptase
- may carry cellular proto-oncogenes in their genome
- may carry v-oncogenes in their genome
- carry single stranded RNA as their genetic material
Correct Option: B
Cancer is initiated when the inactive protooncogenes are activated to cellular oncogenes which trigger uncontrolled cell multiplication.
