Consider the following statements about the strategy adopted to prevent the infestation of tobacco plants by the nematode Meloidegyne incognitia using RNA interference (RNAi):
- The process of RNAi in prokaryotic organisms involves silencing specific mRNA.
- The silencing is achieved by introducing complementary ssRNA molecules that bind to the target mRNA.
- Agrobacterium vectors were used to introduce nematode-specific genes into the host plant.
- The transgenic plants produced sense and anti-sense RNA, which formed dsRNA, initiating RNAi against the nematode.
