Text Solution

Verified by Experts

RNA interference is silencing a specific mRNA by introducing a gene that produces the sense and antisens strand of mRNA so that a double stranded mRNA is produced which cannot be translated into the specific protein. Inhibiting gene expression. This technique is used to create nematode resistant plants, delay in ripening of fruits, to know gene functions, production of vaccines/treatment of papilloma virus/hepatit B/gtenetic defects etc.
