The process of post-transcriptional gene silencing triggered by micro-RNA molecules that stop translation is called ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question matches the definition of RNA interference (RNAi), which is a post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism involving small RNA molecules, such as microRNAs. RNAi inhibits the translation of targeted mRNA molecules, leading to reduced gene expression. Choices B, C, D, and E do not accurately describe this process.
