Identify the correct sequence of steps in RNA-interference (RNAi) process to develop nematode resistant plants (i) Silencing of specific mRNA of the nematode (ii) Formation of sense and antisense RNA (iii) dsRNA formation (iv) Introducing nematode specific genes into plant

Assertion : One of the two strands of DNA is called sense strand and other is called antisense strand. Reason : Sense strand of DNA forms complementary RNA.

How does silencing of specific mRNA in RNA interference prevent parasitic infection?

In nematode resistance by RNA interference, some specific genes were introduced which form dsRNA. These were introduced in

Assertion :- RNA polymerase associates with sigma -factor and rho -factor to terminant & initiate the transcription respectively. Reason: Association with these factors will not alter the specificality of the RNA polymerase.

Assertion :- t RNAs are specific for each amino acid but there are no t-RNAs for stop codons. Reason : The secondary structure of t-RNA has been depicted that looks like a colver-leaf.

Assertion: RNAi involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to complementary RNA that bind to & prevents translation of the mRNA Reason :RNAi takes place in all prokaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defense
