Question

RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism of gene silencing that is mediated by the presence of double-stranded RNA. Arrange the steps involved in gene silencing by RNAi.A-Target RNA is degradedB-RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) binds to short dsRNAC-Long dsRNA is cleaved into short dsRNAD-the sense strand is separated from the antisense strand and degraded.E-antisense RNA pairs with the target RNA

Answer 1

C.; B.; D.; E.; A.

Step-by-step explanation:

C. Long dsRNA is cleaved into short dsRNA.

B. RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) binds to short dsRNA.

D. The sense strand is separated from the antisense strand and degraded.

E. Antisense RNA pairs with the target RNA.

A. Target RNA is degraded.
