D. Predators
Predators keep populations of other species in check. This was pretty clearly demonstrated in Yellowstone National Park after the wolves were eradicated there. The deer populations increased to the point that the aspen trees nearly disappeared due to the saplings' being eaten by deer. Since the reintroduction of wolves to the park, the aspen trees have begun to flourish once again.
Answer:
C) binding to mRNAs and degrading them or blocking their translation
Explanation:
<u>miRNAs:</u>
miRNAs is the abbreviation of MicroRNAs. These are the small noncoding RNAs of ∼22 nucleotides which can not code for peptides. miRNAs are responsible for gene expression regulation at the level of post transcription. They can do so by forming complementary base pairing with target mRNA and inhibiting their translation.
They silenced mRNA by the following processes:
(1) Cleavage of the mRNA strand into pieces,
(2) stopping mRNA from translation into proteins by ribosomes.
(3) Shortening of mRNA poly(A) tail and destabilizing it.
Answer:
ABO blood group system, the classification of human blood based on the inherited properties of red blood cells (erythrocytes) as determined by the presence or absence of the antigens A and B, which are carried on the surface of the red cells.
