Which of the following triggers the RNAi pathway?
A)mRNA
B)rRNA
C)tRNA
D)shRNA
E)snRNA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The triggers for the RNAi pathway are small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs), which are artificially introduced into cells for gene knockdown studies. Of these, shRNAs are commonly used to induce RNAi because they can be delivered to cells in the form of plasmids or viral vectors, making them easier to work with than siRNAs. Options A, B, C, and E are all types of RNA molecules that are not known to trigger the RNAi pathway.
