Use the table to answer the question.Three tomato plants vary in the shape of their leaves: A has smooth edges on its leaves, B has wavyedges on its leaves, and C has smooth edges with bumps in the center of the leaf. Their genomes arethe presence of three siRNAs as shown in the table below. Each plant is also tested to see if it issusceptible to attack by herbivorous beetles.Plant SIRNA 1 SİRNA 2 SİRNA 3 Susceptible to BeetlesA YesNoNoYesB YesYesNoYesC YesNoYesNoPart A:Identify the role of each siRNA.

siRNA refers to small interfering RNA also known as short interfering RNA or silencing RNA belongs to class having double-stranded non coding RNA molecules. These RNA usually contains 20-27 base pairs in length. According to the given data, we can conclude that siRNA 1 is present in plant A, responsible for producing smooth-edged leaves in tomato plants but does not provide protection against beetles. siRNA 1 and si RNA 2 are present in plant B, but plant B has ways leaves which might be produced due to presence of siRNA 2 but both these RNA's does not provide protection against beetles. siRNA 3 is present in plant C along with siRNA 1 and si RNA 2, but this plants is producing smooth edges with bumps in the center of the leaves which might be the effect of siRNA 1 and 3 but siRNA 3 is responsible for providing protection against beetles. siRNA acts by interfering with the expression of specific genes with complementary nucleotide sequences. They cause this by degrading mRNA after transcription and hence, prevents translation.
