RNA interference (RNAi) can lead to the degradation of an mRNA and the inhibition of translation. This natural regulatory mechanism involves small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) binding to mRNA, which prevents protein synthesis. Option A, B is correct.
The process of RNA interference (RNAi) can lead to the degradation of an mRNA and the inhibition of translation of an mRNA. RNA interference is a natural regulatory mechanism in which small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) bind to mRNA, preventing protein synthesis.
This binding can either result in the cleavage of the mRNA or the inhibition of translation, depending on the degree of complementarity between the siRNA and the target mRNA.
Hence, A. B. is the correct option.
