Q. 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:
A) Both statement I and statement II are correct
B) Both statement I and statement II are incorrect
C) Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect
D) Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct
Explanation
[Solution by Claude - not from source] tRNA reads mRNA codons through anticodons and rRNA interacts with mRNA in the ribosome, so Statement I is incorrect. RNAi is a cellular defence in all eukaryotes (NCERT), so II is correct. Answer (4).
