The Use of Small RNA Molecules to Interfere with Gene

Question

The use of small RNA molecules to interfere with gene expression is known as
A) DNA interference.
B) RNA interference.
C) hormone regulation.
D) HRE regulation.
E) None of these are correct.

Accepted Answer

The use of small RNA molecules to interfere with gene expression is known as RNA interference (RNAi). Through this process, small RNA molecules can bind to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and prevent them from being translated into proteins, effectively silencing the expression of the targeted gene.
