Solution

1) Answer:

The retrovirus genome is made of the nucleic acid, RNA before the virus become a provirus; in order that to occur, single stranded form of the genome must be converted to double stranded form.

Explanation: A retrovirus is a single-stranded RNA virus with a DNA intermediate and, as an obligate parasite, targets a host cell. In most viruses, DNA is transcribed into RNA, and then RNA is translated into protein. However, retroviruses function differently, as their RNA is reverse-transcribed into DNA (by an enzyme reverse transcriptase), which is integrated into the host cell\'s genome (when it becomes a provirus), and then undergoes the usual transcription and translational processes to express the genes carried by the virus.

2) Answer:

Human make RNA during a process called transcription.

Synthesis of RNA is usually catalyzed by an enzyme—RNA polymerase—using DNA as a template, a process known as transcription.
