5. In the RNA silencing pathway, the RISC protein complex acts by blocking translation of specific mRNAs. By what mechanism does RISC identify its target for suppression? RISC targets mRNAs that are bound by repressor proteins RISC targets mRNAs that are bound by the Dicer protein RISC targets mRNAs that have sequence that is complementary to the microRNA guide strand. RISC targets mRNAs that are highly methylated
