Select correct option for sequence of steps involve in production of nematode resistance plants by RNAi effect:
(i) Using Agrobacterium vectors, nematode-specific genes were introduced into the host plant.
(ii) Sense and anti-sense RNA’s being complementary to each other formed a double stranded RNA that initiated RNAi
(iii) Transgenic plants are formed and parasite could not survive in a transgenic host expressing specific interfering RNA.
(iv) The introduce DNA produced both sense and anti-sense RNA in the host cells.
(v) Silencing of the specific mRNA of the nematode.
(vi) The transgenic plant therefore got itself protected from the parasite.
