Answer:

I believe the answer is retroviruses

Step-by-step explanation:

Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme found in retroviruses that converts the RNA genome carried in the retrovirus particle into double-stranded DNA. Reverse transcriptase first transcribes a complementary strand of DNA to make an RNA:DNA hybrid.
