Which statement best describes the distinction between the purposes of the two RNAi pathways within the eukaryotic cell?

#Section 3: Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology
  1. miRNA-mediated gene silencing represents a back-up pathway should siRNA-mediated gene silencing be unsuccessful at silencing the target dsRNA

  2. siRNA and miRNA-mediated gene silencing pathways must both be active to successfully silence the target dsRNA

  3. miRNA and siRNA-mediated gene silencing represent evolutionary-independent pathways which confer identical silencing mechanisms on the target dsRNA

  4. siRNA-mediated gene silencing represents a cell defence mechanism against exogenous dsRNA; miRNA-mediated gene silencing is an integral gene expression regulation process

#Section 2: General Biology

In a plant species, a segregating line (RR- Red, Rr- Pink and rr- white) that contains both homozygotes and heterozygotes at a locus can be made homozygous by repeated selfing for several generations. What is the proportional red flower in third generations of selfing, if the level of heterozygosity in generation '0' is denoted as 1?
