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.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

A drug that interacts directly with receptor sites to cause the same activity that a natural chemical would cause at that site is the instructors best response.  

Explanation:

Receptors are Macromolecules which involved in chemical signalling within cells. It is possible that receptors are located in the cell surface membrane. Cellular biochemical process is regulated by Activated receptor. The drugs are capable to affect to receptor who is related to the drug’s affinity and also intrinsic efficacy.

The affinity and activity of drug is related to its chemical structure. its effect is decided by the time duration where complex persistence of drug-receptor.
