Aresearcher introduces double-stranded rna into a culture of mammalian cells and can identify its location or that of its smaller subsections experimentally, using a fluorescent probe.

38) some time later, she finds that the introduced strand separates into single-stranded rnas, one of which is degraded. what does this enable the remaining strand to do?

a) attach to histones in the chromatin

b) bind to complementary regions of target mrnas

c) activate other sirnas in the cell

d) bind to noncomplementary rna sequences
