Q172 / 180 · NEET 2019 (Odisha) · Zoology

In RNA $i$, the genes are silenced using

  • Correct answer
    A
    dsRNA
  • B
    SsDNA
  • C
    ssRNA
  • D
    dsDNA

Solution

In RNA $i$, the genes are silenced using dsRNA. RNA interference (RNA $i$ ) takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defence. This method involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA (silencing).

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
