Solution

The method of cellular defense which works in all eukaryotic organisms is RNA interference - It is a biological process in which the RNA molecule inhibits the gene expression/translation by neutralizing the mRNA molecule which is targeted for inhibiting the expression. This method is useful especially for defense against RNA viruses and transposons in plant cells.
