Question

What will happen if the double-stranded RNA is produced during transcription?

Options

• This would prevent RNA from being translated into protein

• This would not prevent RNA from being translated into protein

• There will be the continuous synthesis of RNA

• Double-stranded RNA will have lower stability. It will be degraded very fastly

Answer 1

This would prevent RNA from being translated into protein

Explanation:

If during transcription double-stranded RNA is formed, this would stop RNA from being translated into proteins. Compared to single-stranded RNA, double-stranded RNA is more stable. Translation would stop if transcription produced double-stranded RNA because it is challenging to separate the two strands of RNA.
