ific laboratories?
A. RNAi is observed in nature, but it can't be used in laboratories.
B. RNAi allows scientists to turn off one gene specifically to study its effect.
C. RNAi has been used in laboratories to make bacteria more susceptible to antibiotics, but has limited application in eukaryotic cells.
D. RNAi is a powerful tool for degrading mRNA, but because it doesn't degrade other types of RNA, its use is limited.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

RNAi is a cellular mechanism for post-transcriptional gene silencing. After transcription of a gene into mRNA, small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) can target the mRNA to form dsRNA. This mRNA then becomes a target of ribonucleases such as the Dicer that break it apart. These mRNA, therefore, do not reach the cytoplasm for translation by ribosomes. This mechanism is hence harnessed and manipulated by scientists to study genes by silencing them.

mojhsa [17]

Succession is a process which brings change in the composition of species in a community over a period of time. In this process a community undergoes change for the initial colonization of a new habitat. Succession begins with colonization of an area that has not been previously occupied by an ecological community. Succession continues till the climax community occupies that area.

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process when plants or some microorganisms use the energy from the sun to produce glucose when water and carbon dioxide are present. The glucose is then converted into pyruvate that then releases ATP by cellular respiration. On the picture there is the sun that interacts with the cell that then makes the ATP
