A
only sense strand of RNA in the host
B
only antisense strand of RNA in the host
C
both sense and antisense strands of RNA in the host
D
dsDNA for cellular defense
Correct Answer
both sense and antisense strands of RNA in the host
Detailed Explanation
RNA interference (RNAi) involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA (silencing).
Using Agrobacterium vectors, nematode-specific genes were introduced into the host plant. The introduction of DNA produced both sense and anti-sense RNA in the host cells.
