Question

The phenomenon in which rna molecules in a cell are destroyed if they have a sequence complementary to an introduced double-stranded rna is called
a. rna interference.
b. rna obstruction.
c. rna blocking.
d. rna targeting.
e. rna disposal.

Answer 1

Answer: a. rna interference.

Rna interference  was known by other names like  co-suppression  because it has become evident that RNAi has immense potential in inhibiting desired genes  by neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules Two types of small ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules that are central to RNA interference are  miRNA and siRNA.
