Write the possible source of RNA interference (RNAi) gene.

Identify the correct answer with respect to RNA interference (RNAi) P. It is an event of post-transcriptional gene silencing Q. It works through RNA induced silencing complex

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

While antacids and antiallergic drugs interfere with the function of histamines, why do these not interfere with the function of each other ?
