Answer;
The two mechanisms by which antisense RNA can act to stop translation is by;
-Binding of antisense to mRNA physically blocks ribosome binding and translation.
- Also Via triggering RNase H that degrades the mRNA of a DNA-mRNA heteroduplex.

Explanation;
Antisense RNA is a type of non-coding RNA that binds to complementary mRNA sequences and induces gene repression by inhibiting translation or degrading messenger RNA.
