  • In RNAi genes are silenced using: a. ss DNA b. ds DNA c. ds RNA d. ss RNA

In RNAi, genes are silenced using:

a. ss DNA
b. ds DNA
c. ds RNA
d. ss RNA

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (c) ds RNA

Explanation: RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process in which specific genes are silenced to prevent them from being expressed. This process is primarily mediated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which can trigger the degradation of corresponding messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. By using dsRNA, researchers can target and inhibit the expression of genes, making this mechanism a powerful tool in genetics, molecular biology, and therapeutic interventions.
