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.

Based on the data in Table 1, identify the animal that has the greatest number of sequence differences from the reference animal
Doss [256]

Answer:

( please like and hope it helps)

A) Elephas-2 has 13 sequence differences from the reference animal, and this is the greatest number of animals in the table.

B) From left to right, the order at the tips of the cladogram is: Dugong , Elephas , Loxodonta , Mammathus.

(Loxodonta and Mammuthus can also be reversed)

C) The molecular data, such as that for are widely conserved protein such as cytochrome b , show conserved similarities between organisms such as to dugongs and proboscideans and can be used to support the existence of this relationship.

D) The animals that are related ones had a common assister with certain genetic characteristics. Adaptation to different habitats leads to diversification of morphology but does not change evolutionary relationships.

HELP FAST! PHYSICAL SCIENCE salt is added to a flask of water. the flask is sealed and shaken for several minutes.After being sh
densk [106]

Answer:the following can be done to allow more NaCl to dissolve;

1.) heating the mixture.

2.) Addition of extra water to the solution.

Explanation:

When sodium chloride is dissolved in water, the polar water molecules are able to work their way in between the individual ions in the lattice. The water molecules surround the negative chloride ions and positive sodium ions and pull them away into the solution. This process is called dissociation. Now when the solution is heated, the rate of the dissociation between the two molecules increases leading to more dissolution of NaCl. Also in the absence of heating, more Water molecules can be added to the solution to decrease it's saturation thereby favouring the dissolution of more NaCl.
