Q. RNA interference involves

KPC MedicalKPC Medical 2013Biotechnology and its Applications

Solution:

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.
