Question

Define antisense RNA, and describe how it affects the translation of a complementary mRNA. Why is it more advantageous to the organism to stop translation initiation than to inactivate or destroy the gene product after it is produced?

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together name the mechanism by which the inhibition of transcription by the antisense strand takes place. Is it answer choice A R N A I answer choice B CRISPR C A S nine answer choice C P I R N A or answer choice D micro R N A. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the correct answer. So the inhibition of transcription by the antisense strand involves a protein complex containing a complimentary R N A DRE which binds to and M R N A results in the degradation or reduced translation of the M R N A. And this is because the double branded R N A or D D srn A molecules rigger the degradation of those R N A molecules which inhibits the process of transcription. And this describes the mechanism of R N A interference which is that mechanism involving a protein complex which could be R N A induced silencing complex contains a complementary R N A strand that binds to the M R N A and it leads to either the degradation or reduced translation of the M R N A in which those double stranded R R N A molecules trigger the degradation of the R N A molecules resulting in the inhibition of transcription. Using this mechanism called R N A interference. Which means that answer choice A R N A interference is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
