Post by: tashina2013 on Nov 9, 2022

Question 1

Formation of duplex RNAs can regulate gene expression by:

◦ forming ribozymes that self-regulate.
◦ prevention of protein binding.
◦ triggering DNA methylation.
◦ recruiting the small ribosomal subunit.
◦ facilitating RNA hairpin formation.

Question 2

In RNAi, the miRNAs provided by RISC usually bind to:

◦ the 3′ UTR of a target mRNA.
◦ the promoter of a target gene.
◦ the 5′ UTR of a target mRNA.
◦ ribosomal RNAs, to inhibit translation.
◦ the coding region of a target mRNA.
