This seems to be the most general idea of the mechanism of action of Reverse Transcriptase, however the process remains unclear and new approaches are being reported.

Zahn/RB69 DNA polymerase (GP43)|DNA Polymerase]]) that increase the quota of errors, producing more mutations and by this way giving more facultative and resistance abilities to the virus. | ||
