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.

What is the effect of soil salinization on crops?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Salinity affects production in crops, pastures and trees by interfering with nitrogen uptake, reducing growth and stopping plant reproduction. Some ions (particularly chloride) are toxic to plants and as the concentration of these ions increases, the plant is poisoned and dies.

Answer: A. Inner Core

Explanation: The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid, and the mantle is solid/ plastic. This is due to the relative melting points of the different layers (nickel - iron core, silicate crust and mantle) and the increase in temperature and pressure as depth increases. Hope this helps :) If not, I am sorry :( If it does, Your Welcome!

2. How does the shape of a protein relate to its function? Refer to specific
gogolik [260]

Answer:In most people, that protein is fully functional and results in blood cells that have a round shape and can bind with oxygen efficiently. What would happen if one small change occurs? The change in the sequence of HbS causes the blood cells to be shaped like sausages, rather than round
