Silencing of specific mRNA is possible via RNAi because of:
RNAi silences a target mRNA through complementary double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) that triggers degradation of the complementary mRNA.

Histones are enriched with:
Histones are positively charged (basic) proteins rich in the basic amino acids lysine and arginine, enabling them to bind the negatively charged DNA.
Who proposed that the genetic code for amino acids should be made up of three nucleotides?
George Gamow proposed that a triplet (three-nucleotide) code is required to specify the 20 amino acids.
Which factor is important for termination of transcription?
The rho (ρ) factor is the termination factor required to end transcription in prokaryotes; the sigma (σ) factor is for initiation.
