What is the effect of silencing specific mRNA of the nematode in the transgenic host plant?

What is the effect of silencing specific mRNA of the nematode in the transgenic host plant?
  1. The nematode survives
  2. The parasite cannot survive
  3. The transgenic host is protected
  4. The mRNA is translated

Solution

The effect of silencing specific mRNA of the nematode in the transgenic host plant is that the parasite cannot survive, as the specific mRNA is prevented from being translated. This protects the transgenic host plant from the nematode parasite.
