Question

In RNA induced gene silencing, how do the silencing processes begin and what major components participate? Select all answers that apply.

Short, double-stranded RNA molecules are recognized by either the RISC or RITS complex and the sense strand is degraded.

The RISC complex, guided by single-stranded RNA, can silence gene expression by affecting either mRNA stability or translation.

siRNA molecules are derived from single-stranded RNAs that are transcribed from the cell's own genome.

The RITS complex, guided by single-stranded RNA, recruits chromatin remodeling proteins that can repress transcription.

The Dicer complex can cleave both siRNA and miRNA precursors into siRNAs and miRNAs.
