Answer:

The correct answer is: C. recognizes viral mRNA and prevents further viral gene expression.

Explanation:

  • RNAi stands for RNA interference.
  • RNAi can be defined as the process by which small RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) molecules of about 22 to 24 nucleotide length, which are produced from the host genome, are capable of binding to complementary RNA sequence present in the viral (RNA) genome or viral transcript resulting in the generation of double-stranded RNA molecules.
  • These double stranded RNA molecules are recognised by RNase (ribonuclease) enzymes, which form the RISC or RNA-induced silencing complex, which is responsible for degrading the viral RNA thereby inhibiting viral gene expression.
  • The small 22 to 24 nucleotide RNA molecules are synthesised by the host cell and are called the siRNAs or small interfering RNAs.
  • Sometimes, these RNA molecules are synthesised in the form of a hairpin structure in the host. They are called the miRNAs or micro RNAs.

The least realistic goal for the client is that he or she will probably stop from blaming his or herself for the lack of insurance. It is because as the client is focused on the experience of having to lose the things the he or she had on the hurricane, he or she wouldn't think of even recognizing the lack of insurance that he or she could had.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

There is no way to predict what the phenotypic ratio will be if we are not given the genotypes/phenotypes of the previous generation. However the concepts of genetic crossings can be explained.

In genetics, there is often genes controlling a certain characteristic in an organism, and when this organism mates, it passes on its genetic information to its offspring. This information can be mapped and we can predict what the future generation will look like given the genotypes and phenotypes of the generation before.
