Question
  1. The following statements may be either true or false. Please circle your answer.

True / False        RNAi-silencing occurs only in C. elegans but not in other organisms.

 

True / False        The same gene can be silenced by degradation of its mRNA in a parental animal, and by methylation of its DNA locus in the progeny.

 

True / False        Drosha and Pasha bind to mRNAs allowing the 43S subunit to form, but they inhibit the formation of the 80S subunit.

 

True / False        Injection of GFP-dsRNA into a C. elegans will activate the RISC complex and lead to the degradation of let-7 mRNA.

 

True / False        Nuclear GFP fluorescence was used in most experiments because RNAi- silencing occurs in the nucleus and not in the cytoplasm.
