RNAi-based modification of amylopectin content in wheat occurs through decreased expression of starch-branching enzymes. If the

If siRNA against a starch-branching enzyme was transmitted to humans, then it may affect the expression of glycogen-branching enzymes. RNAi inhibits gene expression.

Glycogen-branching enzymes are similar to starch-branching enzymes because glycogen bonds are similar to those observed between amylopectin.

The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism used in molecular biology laboratories to inhibit the expression of target genes.

In the RNAi technique, a regulatory non-coding RNA called small interfering RNA (siRNA) that exhibits sequence complementary to the target gene sequence is used to inhibit and/or block the translation of the target mRNA (in this case, starch/glycogen-branching mRNA coding enzyme).

Generalizations, explanations of natural phenomena, and additional hypotheses most often come about as a result of
natali 33 [55]

The explanations of natural phenomena, and additional hypothesis most often come about as a result of a scientific theory.

Explanation:

Scientific theory is a general explanation of natural phenomena developed through extensive and reproducible observations, more general and reliable than a hypothesis.

Then Every scientific theory starts as a hypothesis. A scientific hypothesis is a solution for an unexplained occurrence that does not fit into a currently accepted scientific theory. It must be based on careful rational examination of the facts.
