Select Possible Outcomes After RISC Binds to an MRNA During

Question

Select possible outcomes after RISC binds to an mRNA during RNA interference.Choose all that apply.
A) Inhibition of translation without mRNA degradation
B) mRNA degradation
C) Movement of the RISC-mRNA complex to a P-body
D) Expulsion of the RISC-mRNA complex from the cell
E) Cell death

Accepted Answer

When RISC binds to an mRNA during RNA interference, it can lead to inhibition of translation without mRNA degradation or mRNA degradation. The RISC-mRNA complex may also move to a P-body for degradation. Expulsion of the complex from the cell or cell death are not typical outcomes of RNA interference.
