MCQ

$RNA$ interference involves

A
synthesis of $cDNA$ and $RNA$ using reverse transcriptase
✓
silencing of specific $mRNA$ due to complementary $RNA$
C
interference of $RNA$ in synthesis of $DNA$
D
synthesis of $mRNA$ from $DNA$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

silencing of specific $mRNA$ due to complementary $RNA$

b
(b) : $RNA$ interference $(RNAi)$ is the phenomenon of inhibiting activity of a gene through production of both sense and antisense $RNA$. $RNAi$ takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defense. This method involves a specific $mRNA$ silencing. It is due to a complementary $dsRNA$ molecule which binds to and prevents translation of the $mRNA$ causing its silencing.
