Question

drag each tile to the correct box.
rna interference is a mechanism of gene regulation in eukaryotes. arrange the steps by which rnai carries out gene regulation in the correct order.
the sirna binds to a special protein, which degrades one strand.
one strand of sirna associates with the protein to form an rnase complex.
the enzyme dicer cleaves dsrna to form small interfering rna (sirna).
the rnase complex binds to a specific mrna and degrades it.

Explanation:

The steps of RNA interference follow a sequential pathway starting with the processing of double-stranded RNA, followed by siRNA formation, complex assembly, and finally mRNA degradation to regulate gene expression.

Answer:

1. The enzyme dicer cleaves dsRNA to form small interfering RNA (siRNA).
2. The siRNA binds to a special protein, which degrades one strand.
3. One strand of siRNA associates with the protein to form an RNase complex.
4. The RNase complex binds to a specific mRNA and degrades it.
