There are 5 types of RNAs. Which type is used to regulate gene expression by binding to complementary mRNAs to block gene expression or cause their degradation?
rRNA |
||
mRNA |
||
miRNA |
||
tRNA |
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

6. The three types of RNA involved in gene expression are mRNA tRNA complimentary strand of RNA during gene expression is this strand of RNA is being synthesized, each new nucleotide is being added to the strand via a bond formed at carbon number the nucleotide at the end of the RNA. The enzyme invoved involved in transcribing a When , and rRNA of the ribose ring present on

Gene structure No introns Epigenetic modification (chromosome remodeling) transcription, translation, RNA processing, protein processing Transcription in the nucleus and translation in the cytoplasm Interrupted gene with exons and introns RNAPI, II, III Which...
Multiple types of RNAs are involved in translation. Choose the all the types of RNAs and their functions in translation. a. mRNAs are templates that provide coding information to form proteins b. rRNAs are ribozymes that catalyze the addition of amino acids. c. mRNAs are adaptor molecules that contain amino acids. d. tRNAs are ribozymes that catalyze the addition of amino acids. e.rRNAs are templates that provide coding information to form proteins. O f. tRNAs are adaptor molecules that contain...
Which of the following mechanisms to regulate gene expression are observed in eukaryotes, but are not generally observed in prokaryotes? Choose all that apply. Genes are grouped into operons, which allows transcriptional regulation to turn them all on together. RNA silencing selectively targets mRNA and destroys it to prevent further translation. Proteins can be activated or deactivated as a form of post-translational regulation. Epigenetic regulation can open or condense sectiosn of a chromosome, regulating which genes are transcribed. Regulatory proteins...

A particular type of glucose binding protein binds to glucose with an affinity of 0.43 µM. In other words, 1/K = 0.43 µM, where K is the equilibrium constant for the association of glucose with the protein. If glucose concentration is 1 mM, then approximately what fraction of glucose bindingA. Almost noneB. Almost allC. About halfD. About 10%In principle, a eukaryotic cell can regulate gene expression at any step in the pathway from DNA to the active protein, including marking...
