I guess I was half right.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_transcriptase
In biochemistry <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemistry>, a *reverse
transcriptase*, also known as *RNA-dependent DNA polymerase*, is a DNA
polymerase <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase> enzyme
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme> that transcribes
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_%28genetics%29>
single-stranded RNA <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA> into
double-stranded DNA <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA>. Normal
transcription involves the synthesis of RNA from DNA; hence, reverse
transcription is the /reverse/ of this.
That's what I get for trying to go from memory instead of looking it up.

If I remember right R stands for reverse, and is basically a
mirror image of DNA. Some viruses work with the "negative"
so only one transcription has to be done instead of two when
replicating.

Careful, Dee! <smile>
You write:
Well no, it won't if the virus is multi celled.
Viruses, by definition, are not even one-celled. They are large
molecules of DNA or RNA, possibly with a protective coating of one
sort or another. They are *much* smaller and less complex than any
actual cell.
