QUESTION 11 Which of the following statements about RNA interference pathways and mechanisms is FALSE? O A Investigators can load RISC and/or RITS complexes with artificial, designed RNAS in order to specifically target and silence a gene of interest as a way to see what the effect of that gene is when its expression is silenced. O B. Only a small section of a small interfering RNA, called the 'seed' sequence, is actually used to identify nucleic acid targets that are to be silenced. OC Eukaryotic RNA interference pathways do not regulate genes from the genome itself (Le. endogenous genes), they only respond to external infection events such as invading viruses. OD. The piRNA pathway processes small RNAS out of long noncoding RNA transcripts and is important for suppression of repetitive element movement in germ cells. O E The micro (n RNA pathway and the short interfering (si) pathways load small RNAS into RISC or RITS complexes.

Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
