An interaction mediated by base pairing between the single strand of RNA in the RNA-protein complex and a complementary sequence in the messenger RNA molecule prevents the expression of the gene that produced the mRNA.This is known as
A) RNA Induced Silencing Complex.
B) RNA Introduction Salination Complex.
C) Ribosomal Induced Silencing Complex.
D) Ribsomal Interfering Single Complex.
E) RNA Interference Silencing Complex.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA Induced Silencing Complex (RISC) is involved in gene silencing through the mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi), where it mediates the interaction between small RNA molecules (such as siRNA or miRNA) and their target mRNA, leading to the mRNA's degradation or translational repression.
