RNA interference helps in__________?
Correct answer: C. Cell defence
- A. Cell proliferation
- B. Micropropagation
- C. Cell defence
- D. Cell differentiation
Explanation
RNA interference silences specific genes by using small RNA molecules to guide the destruction or blocking of complementary mRNA, providing a form of cellular defence against viruses and other genetic threats. Cell differentiation is the likely distractor because gene silencing can influence development, but defence is the direct function asked here.
