What is the result of the RNAi mechanism in the transgenic host plant?

What is the result of the RNAi mechanism in the transgenic host plant?
  1. The parasite survives
  2. The host plant is protected from the parasite
  3. The mRNA of the nematode is silenced
  4. The transgenic host is expressing specific interfering RNA

Solution

The result of the RNAi mechanism in the transgenic host plant is that the parasite cannot survive, as the specific mRNA of the nematode is silenced. This protects the transgenic host plant from the parasite.
