Answer #1

Answere : The correct answere is "miRNA". miRNA or microRNA regulate gene expression typically by blocking translation of selective mRNAs.

MicroRNA are small non-coding (20-22 nucleotides long) RNA molecule found in eukaryotes and acts through RNA interference. MicroRNA can break down mRNA with the help of enzymes. This can block the mRNA from being translated, or accelerate its degradation
