Vedclass · Answer

(A) $RNA$ interference $(	ext{RNAi})$ is a biological process in which $	ext{RNA}$ molecules inhibit gene expression or translation,by neutralizing targeted $	ext{mRNA}$ molecules.This process is initiated by the presence of double-stranded $	ext{RNA}$ $(	ext{dsRNA})$.These $	ext{dsRNA}$ molecules are cleaved into small interfering $	ext{RNA}$ $(	ext{siRNA})$ by an enzyme called Dicer.These $	ext{siRNA}$ molecules then bind to a complementary sequence on the target $	ext{mRNA}$,leading to its degradation or preventing its translation,thereby silencing the specific gene.

Silencing of specific $\text{mRNA}$ is possible via $\text{RNA}$ interference because of $-$
