Identify the true statements about RNA interference.

A.miRNAs are short, single strands approximately 21 nucleotides long. gene from which it was transcribed.
B.miRNA targets the
C.Duplex RNA (dsRNA) can suppress the expression of a gene.
D.expression by Small RNAs interfere with interfering with transcription.
E.miRNAs suppress gene gene expression by interacting with mRNA, bringing about mRNA degradation

Answer 1

RNA interference (RNAi) is a process in which small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs) interfere with gene expression by binding to mRNA and preventing translation. miRNAs are short single-stranded RNA molecules that are produced from longer pre-miRNAs by dicer. They degrade target mRNA through the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Hence the correct answer is option D

Step-by-step explanation:

RNA interference (RNAi) is a process in which small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs) interfere with gene expression by binding to mRNA, preventing translation and protein synthesis. miRNAs are short single-stranded RNA molecules approximately 21 nucleotides long. They are made in the nucleus as longer pre-miRNAs and then chopped into mature miRNAs by a protein called dicer. miRNAs bind to mRNA along with a ribonucleoprotein complex called the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which degrades the target mRNA.

Hence the correct answer is option D
