Questions and Answers

What is the method to synthesize antisense cDNA or RNA?

  • Reverse transcription with a primer corresponding to the antisense strand of the target mRNA (correct)
  • Polymerase chain reaction with a primer corresponding to the sense strand of the target mRNA
  • Transcription using a primer complementary to the sense strand of the target mRNA
  • Ligation of random DNA fragments to form the antisense sequence
  • Why is a phosphodiester bond preferred for joining nucleotides in DNA oligonucleotides?

  • It enhances the flexibility of the DNA strand
  • It allows for easier separation of the nucleotides during replication
  • It provides greater structural stability and resistance to nucleolytic degradation (correct)
  • It increases the rate of transcription of the DNA strand
  • What are interfering RNAs (iRNAs) primarily composed of?

  • DNA molecules with specific gene sequences
  • Long non-coding RNA molecules
  • mRNA molecules with specific gene sequences
  • Small RNA molecules, including siRNA and miRNA (correct)
