Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. Using Agrobacterium vectors, nematode-specific genes were introduced into the host plant. 2. The introduction of DNA was such that it produced both sense and anti-sense RNA in the host cells. 3. These two RNA's being complementary to each other formed a double stranded that initiated RNAi and thus, silenced the specific mRNA of the nematode. 4. The conse

Step-by-step solution

Using Agrobacterium vectors, nematode-specific genes were introduced into the host plant. The introduction of DNA was such that it produced both sense and anti-sense RNA in the host cells. These two RNA's being complementary to each other formed a double stranded that initiated RNAi and thus, silenced the specific mRNA of the nematode. The consequence was that the parasite could not survive in a Transgenic host expressing specific interfering RNA.
