In the RNAi mechanism, what is the primary role of complementary sense and antisense RNA in the host plant?

पर्याय

  • To prevent transcription of host genes

  • To pair together and form dsRNA, which initiates the RNAi process

  • To compete for ribosomal binding sites

  • To enhance chlorophyll production

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.
