Answer:

The miRNAs act as post-transcriptional silencers, as they are similar to specific mRNAs and regulate their stability and translation. They are small endogenous non-coding ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules, with about 22 nucleotides, which act as regulators of gene expression in plants and animals, at the post-transcriptional level through the cleavage of a target messenger RNA (mRNA) or repression of translation.

In general, most miRNA genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase II in the nucleus in primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs). Individually, a pri-miRNA can produce a single miRNA or contain groups of two or more miRNAs that are processed from a common primary transcript. These long pri-miRNA are cleaved by a complex comprising the double-stranded RNAse III enzyme (DROSHA) and its essential cofactor, the binding protein DGCR8 (DiGeorge Syndrome Critical Region 8 protein) in mammals. DROSHA contains two domains of RNAse III, each of which cleaves a strand of the RNA resulting in the precursor microRNA (pre-miRNA) with about 70 base pairs, which contains a double-stranded stretch and a single-stranded loop, forming a structure in clamp. The pre-miRNA is exported to the cytoplasm by the protein exportin-5 (XPO-5), where it is cleaved by DICER1, an RNAse III that assesses the 3 'and 5' ends of the pre-miRNA, generating a mature miRNA with about 22 nucleotides. The processing of pre-miRNA by Dicer promotes the unfolding of the RNA duplex in the form of a clamp. The position in the formation of the clamp can also influence the choice of tape.

Maksim231197 [3]

Microorganisms can be divided into two groups:


1. Archea


• Archea are prokaryotic unicellular organisms without cell nucleus or other membrane bound-organelles.  


• Their membrane is built from ether lipids, which differs them from bacteria’s cell membrane.


•  


2. Bacteria


• Bacteria are also unicellular prokaryotic organisms.  


• Bacterial cell membranes are made from phosphoglycerides with ester bonds. Bacterial genome is in a form of circular chromosome.  


• They reproduce by binary fission or by budding.


Besides, prokaryotes (Archea and Bacteria) a large number of eukaryotes are also microorganisms. Unicellular eukaryotes contain organelles such as the cell nucleus, the Golgi apparatus and mitochondria. Usually, they reproduce asexually by mitosis. An example of eukaryotic microorganism is Protist.

Which area of the limbic system regulates thirst, body temperature, and sexual behavior, and helps maintain a steady (homeostati
Katyanochek1 [597]
The answer would be hypothalamus.

Hypothalamus is a part of the brain that located below the thalamus (hypo mean "under"). Hypothalamus can control nervous and endocrine system. It was divided into front/anterior, tuberal and back/posterior part. Thirst would be regulated by anterior and posterior part, temperature by anterior part and sexual behaviour by anterior part.
