Answer:

RNA interference

Explanation:

The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is a naturally occurring mechanism in which regulatory non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) suppress gene expression by targeting messenger RNAs (mRNAs). The RNAi technique is used in molecular biology laboratories and biotechnology applications to reduce the expression of target genes by delivering small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules targeting a gene of interest. These siRNAs are artificially synthesized to bind by complementarity to the target mRNAs, thereby they can be used for transient gene silencing. This technique does not require genetic modification of the cells, since RNAi can be achieved by direct exogenous delivery of siRNAs.

Mama L [17]
During pulmonary edema, the interstitial space increases resulting to a smaller diffusion.  The increased interstitial space makes oxygen not to have enough time to reach the red blood cell resulting to partially oxygenated blood. Using the Fick equation there will be an increase in the level of oxygen coming from the lungs.
