Answer: Double stranded RNA

Explanation:

The DS RNA is paired with a sequence which is complementary to a (GOI)gene of interest.

It is then introduced into the organism where it is encountered as a exogenous genetic material and then the RNA interference pathway is activated inside the cell or organism.

It is also known as the post transcriptional gene splicing and quelling. It is a biological process in which the RNA molecules inhibit the process of translation by neutralizing the targeted m RNA molecules.
