18. RNAi is a technique that silences genes by targeting them and degrading their mRNA. How can this technique be used in scient

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.

Which of the following statements about carotenoids is NOT true? Carotenoids include red, orange, and yellow pigments. Carotenoi
kvv77 [185]

       The right answer to this question is option D. Carotenoids are categorized into two major divisions: carotenes and beta carotenes

       First, let's check option A, it says that the carotenoids include red, orange and yellow pigments, that's true, we can check that on lab for example, a vegetable that can be mentioned here are carrots, it has lots of this and it's very healthy too, and remember, there isn't a single animal that can produce carotenoids, so they need to grab it from nature.

       The second option, B. says that sometimes carotenoids are sometimes called as acessory pigments, that's true too, some studies consider them acessory pigments, so, they're not alone there, there are different kinds of pigments that can be on that plant, and they're also very important for the animals. Option C refers to beta carotene as the most abundant carotene in plants, that's true too, we can also find other kinds of carotenoids on plants, but this one as it's seen in lab, is the most common one. The last one, D, isn't true, the two major divisions are: Xanthophylls and Carotenoids, beta carotenoids are a type of carotenoids, not a different group.
