ghav is to have to be in town this is not working properly configured a lot and he will have the right thing that the same time I have to get to know if this was my fault for a couple more and the other

Hope it helps you...☺☺☺
Explanation:
A nematode Meloidegyne incognitia infects the roots of tobacco plants which reduce the production of tobacco. The infection can be prevented using RNA interference (RNAi) process which is checked by silencing of specific mRNA due to a complementary ds RNA. The ds RNA binds and prevents translation of the mRNA. By using Agrobacterium vectors, nematode-specific genes were introduced into the host plants which produce both sense and antisense RNA in the host cells. These two RNAs are complementary to each other and form a double stranded RNA (ds RNA) that initiates RNAi and hence, silences the specific mRNA of the nematode. The parasite cannot survive in transgenic host and so, prevents the plants from pests.
Thus the correct order is
RNA binds and prevents translation of the mRNA.
using Agrobacterium as vector introduce it into tobacco
this produce both sense and antisense RNA in the host cells.
These two RNAs are complementary to each other and form a double stranded RNA
initiates-RNA interference
it silences the specific mRNA of the nematode
The parasite cannot survive in transgenic host
so the plant is prevented from pest.
