Question

Identify the correctly matched pair:

• A. Bt toxin- Biofertiliser
• B. Proinsulin-A peptide chain and B peptide chain
• C. Ti plasmid -Trichinella spiralis
• D. RNA interference - Silencing of mRNA

Answer 1

Answer:

D. RNA interference - Silencing of mRNA

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is processed into short interfering RNA (siRNA) by RNase II enzymes. The siRNA is then loaded into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The siRNA unwinds and hybridizes with the mRNA target. The Argonaute enzyme then degrades the mRNA.
