Question
Chapter 13.3, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which the sense and antisense mex-3 RNAs were made.
Introduction: Caenorhabditis elegans was used by Fire and Mello in an experiment to study gene expression. The experiment showed that for silencing mRNA, double-stranded RNA can be used instead of antisense RNA. On injecting RNA, the effect of it was seen on the expression of particular mRNAs.

You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
