Need some help on a gene technology question AQA A level

The question is 1b and it asks how anti sense gene would reduce the expression of the SUT1 gene so i said maybe it produces an enzyme which hydrolyses the sucrose co-transporter protein the SUT1 gene makes but i was completely wrong and the actual answer wanted you to talk about how the anti sense gene binds to the sense gene and forms double stranded MRNA.
I just want to know if the question provided hints for this answer or how my thought process was wrong. I appreciate any help

Hey , soo i read the question i think one of the hints is that it says ANTIsense SUT1 MRNA - The word anti just clicks to you that its opposite to the original sense SUT 1 and since opposite base sequences = complementary which then you can map out that double stranded MRNA which means that it can no longer bind to Trna to form a protein (as it’s not single stranded) soo its not translated - does that make sense?
(ps this was a slightly difficult question as i can see why you mentioned it makes a enzyme but just read the question and 1 hint or two will be there for sure)

Hi nitroglycerine event [sorry| 😄,
One of the tactics I train my students on when improving exam technique is to teach them to v quickly try to work out which specific part of the syllabus the Q is testing your knowledge of.
In this Q, you need to realize that the mention of SUT1 is simpy a ploy to distract/confuse you - as far as I know SUT1 is not even in AQA syllabus hence the Q explains its function.
Crucially, if you had grasped the fact that this Q is testing your knowledge of transcription and translation, you would probably have worked out the correct answer.
Good luck in imminent exams!
