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.

Compare and contrast the characteristics of the ideal tissue forming the outer surface of the body with that forming the lining
julsineya [31]

The tissue that forms the outer surface of the body is a stratified squamous keratinized epithelium. The surface layer of dead cells(stratum corneum) is made to keep things out of the body, protecting it. The tissue that lines the digestive tract(e.g. intestine). Is made from 1 layer of columnar cells that facilitate the absorption of nutrients. Both tissues are epithelia.
