Equilibrium/ Equilibria proposes that once species appear in the fossil record,
the population will be in the state of
little or absent morphologic change. This is called a state of stasis. The
theory further proposes that the population is confined to infrequent and
geographical rapid events when significant evolutionary change happens. The parent species will the split into two
distinct species. This process if called cladogenesis.</span>
Providing long-term control over the body's internal conditions
Keeping conditions within a normal range
Adjusting the "set point" for body temperature based upon level of activity
Answer:
miR-223 inhibits the expression of the fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene, and thereby ESCs cells maintain their undifferentiated state
.
Explanation:
Non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) are molecules that regulate gene expression, thereby playing important biological functions in cell differentiation, cell cycle, apoptosis, etc. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of ncRNAs capable of controlling gene expression patterns by regulating mRNA stability and by suppressing their translation into proteins. It has been shown that miRNAs function by imperfectly base-pairing with the 3′ UTR of target mRNAs (Pillai et al. 2005).
