RNA interference involves (A) Synthesis of mRNA from DNA (B) Synthesis of cDNA from RNA using reverse transcriptase (C) Silencing of specific mRNA due to complementary RNA (D) Interference of RNA in synthesis of DNA
Option C.RNA interference ( RNAi) takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defense. This method involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to the complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA. The source of this complementary RNA could be from an infection by viruses having RNA genomes that replicate via an RNA intermediate.
