Oil Extraction from Seeds Using rDNA — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptCan you suggest a method to remove oil (hydrocarbon) from seeds based on your understanding of rDNA technology and chemistry of oil?
Assertion (A): RNAi technology can silence specific genes in target organisms. Reason (R): Complementary dsRNA molecules bind to specific mRNA and prevent their translation.
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: A — If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both statements are true from NCERT. NCERT states “This method involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA (silencing).” The Reason explains the mechanism HOW gene silencing (Assertion) is achieved - through dsRNA binding to mRNA and blocking translation.
