The two small RNAs (siRNA and miRNA) can be differentiated by their origin. si RNA are developed from dsRNA precursors which made up of two distinct perfectly base paired RNA strands whereas miRNA processed from a single, long RNA strand that forms imperfectly base paired hairpin structures. siRNA have recognized as exogenous while miRNA as endogenous origin.
As indicated in the image below, miRNAs usually have imperfect base pairing with their target mRNAs,...
4. The CRISPR-Cas9 system is an important new technique in molecular biology. What is the natural function of this system? Describe how you would use this system to generate a null mutation in another organism (i.e. explain Figure 6-43). How does it work? What is the modification of the method that allows for correction of a mutation (e.g. the mouse crystalline gene)? And lastly, what are the problems with the CRISPR system? FIGURE 6-43 Single-nucleotide mutations can be introduced into...
CELL BIOLOGY PLSS HELP!! I don't know if selected answers are correct so pls tell me the answer > A Moving to another question will save this response.

Below is a series of events involved in the mechanism of forming a retrotransposon. Place these steps in the correct order 1. the DNA copy is made double-stranded 2. DNA of the transposable element is transcribed 3. The DNA of the transposable element is integrated into a target DNA site 4. The RNA is reverse transcribed by reverse transcriptase, producing a complementary DNA 4,2,3,1 3,2,4,1 2,4,1,3 4,2,1,3 1,2,3,4 What is the function of the poly(A) tail on most mRNAs To...
