Silencing of specific mRNA is possible via RNAi because of

  1. A
    Complementary tRNA
  2. B
    Non-complementary ssRNA
  3. C
    Complementary dsRNA
  4. D
    Inhibitory ssRNA
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: C

RNAi (RNA interference) takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defense. This method involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA.
