Question

In which mechanism specific mRNA is inactivated after binding to complementary dsRNA?

Hint:

RNAi is a powerful mechanism for regulating gene expression by targeting and silencing specific mRNA molecules, often used for gene knockdown in research.

Answer 1

RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological mechanism in which specific mRNA molecules are inactivated after binding to complementary double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). This process leads to the degradation of the mRNA or inhibition of its translation, thus preventing the expression of the corresponding gene.
