0 1 . 3 Scientists produced a short, single-stranded, artificial nucleic acid, called
PNA. The PNA binds to a small section of DNA.
The scientists introduced PNA into cells and discovered that these cells
produced less mRNA than cells that did not contain PNA.
Suggest how PNA affected the transcription of the section of DNA.
