Answer:
- Duplex RNA (dsRNA) can suppress the expression of a gene.
- miRNAs are short, single strands approximately 21 nucleotides long.
- miRNAs suppress gene expression by interfering with transcription.
- RNA interference can temporarily suppress the expression of a target gene.
Explanation:
The RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism is a naturally occurring biological process by which an organism suppresses gene expression by using sequence-specific small non-coding RNAs that are complementary to RNA (posttranscriptional silencing) or DNA (transcriptional silencing) sequences. Since its discovery, this mechanism has been exploited in molecular biology to control the expression of target genes. There are different classes of non-coding RNAs which are able to trigger RNAi gene silencing: microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs, only present in animals), etc. During their functioning, these non-coding RNAs are loaded into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to direct them to target sequences and trigger RNAi (for example, by cleaving target mRNAs). miRNAs are short, evolutionary conserved RNAs, that associate to the RISC complex in order to trigger both transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene silencing. During their biogenesis, small non-coding RNAs are double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), but they lose a strand (the passenger strand) when associate with the RISC complex, conserving only one strand (the guide strand) that bind by complementary base pairing to target sequences (either DNA in the nucleus or RNA in the cytoplasm).
Answer:
Giving a definition.
Explanation:
Giving a definition deals with properly explaining the term(s) concerned to avoid further confusion and to make sure your audience ain't lost. It is not merely to copy what was printed in other dictionaries that gives a definition. Choose terms that your understanding or that personal observations has affected. By defining its roles, structure or existence, you can define a phrase.
Answer: 1) The phenotype of Rr is Pink according to incomplete dominance.
Incomple dominance occurs when none of the alleles is completely dominant over the other, resulting in blending of the phenotype from the parents. When a red (RR) and a white flower (rr) are crossbred, they result in Rr that is a pink phenotype.
2) According to Codominance, the phenotype of Rr is Red and White flower.
Codominance occurs when both the alleles are equally expressed. In this case allele for Red (R) and white (r) phenotype are expressed equally giving Red and White flower.
3) In Codominance, both the alleles are visible in the hybrid and in Incomplete dominance, intermediate (blend of parental) phenotype is visible in the hybrid.
