Silencing of specific mRNA is possible via RNAi because of
- Complementary tRNA
- Non-complementary ssRNA
- Complementary dsRNA
- Inhibitory ssRNA
Answer
(3) Complementary dsRNA
Solution
As per NCERT, RNA interference (RNAi) involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA.
∴ Silencing is due to complementary dsRNA.
