Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Transfer RNAs and ribosomal RNA do not interact with mRNA.

Statement II: RNA interference (RNAi) takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defence.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  2. B.Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  3. C.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  4. D.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct✓

Solution

tRNA and rRNA both interact with mRNA during translation, so I is false. RNA interference is a cellular-defence mechanism found in all eukaryotes, so II is correct.
