Groundwater is the body of water derived from percolation, contained within the soil, sub-soil and underlying rocks above an impermeable layer. The top layer of groundwater is known as the water table and it marks the permanent zone of saturation. Three appropriate ways for preserving groundwater are:
- Recycling groundwater for use
-Regulating the amount of groundwater used to water neighbourhood lawns
-Monitoring the chemicals used in fossil fuel extraction
Answer:
This is a cell (B) with a nucleus (C) containing DNA (A). The DNA is organized into chromosomes (D). A section of the chromosome that codes for a trait is called a gene (E).
Explanation:
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.
