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.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is serotonin.

Explanation:

SIDS or sudden infant death syndrome refers to an inexplicable death, generally at the time of sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby of less than a 1-year-old. SIDS is also called crib death as the infants usually die in their cribs.  

In children who are diagnosed with SIDS, usually possess lesser concentrations of serotonin that assist in monitoring heart rates, breathing, and sleeping. Serotonin refers to a compound, which is found in blood platelets that constricts the blood vessels. At the same time, it also functions as a neurotransmitter. It is a chemical found in the brain, which transmits messages to other cells.
