In Arabidopsis thaliana, the Flowering Locus C (FLC) gene codes for a regulatory protein that suppresses flowering. FLC is expre

ssed in seedlings to prevent premature flowering. In mature plants, FLC expression decreases with cooler temperatures, and flowering occurs once sufficiently cool temperatures are reached. If small-interfering RNA (siRNA) that is complementary to FLC mRNA is introduced, how would RNA interference (RNAi) affect flowering?

Answer:

RNA interference would degrade the FLC mRNA and instigate flowering.  

The RNA interference refers to a molecular process, which is used by the cells to prevent the expression of any specific gene, that is, by not continuing the process of translation of mRNA. This can be done with the assistance of micro-RNAs or siRNAs.  

The function of the siRNA primarily relies upon its tendency of binding with RISC or RNA-induced silencing complex. Once it combines with RISC, the unwinding of the double-stranded RNA occurs and is succeeded by the cleavage of the sense strand. This is attained with the activity of endonucleases over it. The left antisense strand will mediate the RISC factor towards mRNA for preventing its transcription, and thus, silencing it.

The location where a crime occur is called a crime scene. There are two types of crime scene, primary and secondary crime scenes. The primary crime scene refers to the place where the crime actually takes place. The secondary crime scene is to some extent related to the crime but it is not the original place of occurrence of the crime. 
In the question given above, the primary crime scene is the lockers' room, where the thief took the car's key from. Information about the identity of the thief, such as finger prints can be obtained at the primary crime scene.
