RNA interference (RNAi) technology is being explored for developing pest-resistant plants. Which statement about RNAi is INCORRECT?
The RNAi effect can be highly specific to the target pest.
The introduced dsRNA is processed into smaller interfering RNAs (siRNAs).
RNAi primarily works by blocking translation of target mRNA.
The RNAi trait is easily inherited through traditional plant breeding methods.
