Given below are two statements: Statement I: Transfer RNAs and ribosomal RNA do not interact with mRNA. Statement II: RNA interference (RNAi) takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defence. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Statement I is incorrect because during translation, tRNA interacts directly with mRNA through codon-anticodon base pairing, and the ribosome (composed of rRNA and proteins) binds to mRNA to initiate and facilitate protein synthesis. Statement II is correct as the text explicitly states that 'RNA interference (RNAi) takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defence'.
