| Assertion (A): | The nematode cannot survive in a transgenic host which expresses specific interfering RNA. |
| Reason (R): | Nematode-specific gene introduced in the host produces both sense and antisense complementary RNA which initiate RNA interference in the host cell. |

| 1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 2. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
