Question

What w ill happen if the double-stranded RNA is produced during transcription?

• A. This would prevent RNA from being translated into protein
• B. This would not prevent RNA from being translated into protein
• C. There will be the continuous synthesis of RNA
• D. Double-stranded RNA will have lower stability. It will be degraded very fastly

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

If double-stranded RNA is produced during transcription this would prevent RNA from being translated into proteins. Double-stranded RNA have more stability than single-stranded RNA. If double-stranded RNA is formed from transcription, then it is difficult to separate the strands of RNA due to which translation would be halted.
