One way scientists hope to use the recent knowledge gained about noncoding rnas lies with the possibilities for their use in medicine. of the following scenarios for future research, which would you expect to gain most from rnas? a) exploring a way to turn on the expression of pseudogenes b) targeting sirnas to disable the expression of an allele associated with autosomal recessive disease c) targeting sirnas to disable the expression of an allele associated with autosomal dominant disease d) creating knock-out organisms that can be useful for pharmaceutical drug design e) looking for a way to prevent viral dna from causing infection in humans

C) targeting siRNAs to disable the expression of an allele associated with autosomal dominant disease

Explanation:

siRNAs are the small interfering RNAs that do not serve as a template during the process of protein synthesis. These RNA molecules are double-stranded and have about 23 nucleotides in total. siRNAs control the expression of genes that selectively inhibiting the mRNAs. They control gene expression at the post-transcriptional level by selectively cleaving mRNA molecules that have the nucleotide sequences complementary to the siRNA.  

The siRNA molecules can be used to selectively inhibit the expression of the allele for an autosomal dominant disorder. This selective inactivation of the allele associated with the disease would help to control the corresponding genetic disorder.

i dont know this but ask your teacher for !
