Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. RNA interference is a mechanism of eukaryotic gene regulation. In this mecha
nism, the enzyme “dicer” cuts dsRNA into smaller fragments called( ) , which form a complex with RISC and degrade specific ( ) . 1st part
A. Smaller Interfering RNA (siRNA)
B. Single Stranded RNA (ssRNA)
C. Double Stranded RNA (dsRNA)
The correct answer for 1st part (
A) Smaller Interfering RNA (siRNA) and 2nd part is mRNA
During the whole procedure of RNA interference the long dsRNA is cut down into smaller fragments (nucleotides) by an enzyme called Dicer. These smaller fragments are called as Smaller Interfering RNA (siRNA) to bind to proteins. This Smaller Interfering RNA forms complex with RISC and helps in degradation of mRNA.
<span>Pteridophytes (ferns) have true roots and vascular tissue that allows water to move farther
through the plant so that they don't depend on absorption of water held
on the plant as a mass of moss plants would.
