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. Both statement I and statement II are correct

2. Both statement I and statement II are incorrect

3. Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect

4. Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct

1 answer

Best answer

Answer: 4. Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct

Key idea: tRNA and rRNA do interact with mRNA during translation.

Statement I is incorrect: tRNA reads codons on mRNA and rRNA in the ribosome binds mRNA. Statement II is correct: RNAi, silencing by complementary dsRNA, is a cellular defence found in all eukaryotes.
