उत्तर
The introduced DNA produces both sense and antisense RNA within the host cells. Because these two RNAs are complementary to each other, they pair up to form double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The formation of this dsRNA is what initiates the RNA interference (RNAi) process, making it the critical first step.
