Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression or translation by neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules. This process is triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Let us analyze the given options: Option (a) represents a double-stranded molecule containing Uracil (U) instead of Thymine (T), which indicates it is double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Option (b) represents a single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) molecule. Option (c) represents a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecule, as it c
