Answer» Correct Answer - C RNAi takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defense. This method inolves silencinf of a specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of mRNA (silencing). The source of this complementary RNA could be from an infection by viruses having RNA genomes or mobile genetic elements (transposons) that replicate via an RNA intermediate. |
