Questions
The technique that involves formation of double stranded RNA in cell, further inhibiting the translation of pathogen specific mRNA is:
a
Gene therapy
b
RNA interference
c
Polymerase chain reaction
d
Fed batch culture
detailed solution
Correct option is B
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 (silencing). The source of this complementary RNA could be from an infection by viruses having RNA genomes or mobile genetic elements (transposons) that replicate via an RNA intermediate.Talk to our academic expert!
