Not yet graded / 3 pts

In the video about RNA interference, What did you learn about the process of protein synthesis (2 pts) How can this technique help us in the future?( 1 pt) Your Answer: RNA is created in the Nucleus, and it leaves the nucleus and goes to the cytoplasm. Ribosomes use RNA to create proteins in the cytoplasm. When working petunias, scientists noticed that adding a gene for dark purple didn't work as intended. This caused scientists to learn about RNA Interference, which can turn off genes. RNA can be copied to produce multiple copies of proteins. In the future, this can be used in RNAi therapy, which could be used to turn off a disease. https://fsw.instructure.com/courses/1099906/quizzes/1723845/history?version=1
