C-Met is an oncogene that contributes to the development of certain cancers by triggering cell division and tumor growth. In a 2

009 article, Yan and colleagues found regions in the 3' untranslated region of c-Met mRNA complementary to microRNA-1/206. In addition, higher levels of microRNA-1/206 were associated with slower cell proliferation. What is a likely explanation for the inverse correlation between microRNA-1/206 and cell proliferation?
A. MicroRNA-1/206 stabilizes c-Met mRNA, leading to enhanced translation.

B. MicroRNA-1/206 codes for a protein that directly binds to and inhibits c-Met protein.

C. MicroRNA-1/206 codes for a tumor suppressor protein that directly inhibits cell proliferation.

D. MicroRNA-1/206 targets c-Met mRNA for destruction via RISC.

Answer:

D. MicroRNA-1/206 targets c-Met mRNA for destruction via RISC.

Explanation:

microRNA's are non-coding RNA's, that is, they are not translated to proteins. MicroRNA-1/206 leads to gene silencing by 'tagging' the c-Met mRNA for cleavage by RISC proteins.

RISC: RNA-induced silencing complex is a ribonucleoprotein complex that leads to the incorporation of a single strand of micro RNA (or siRNA) that will bind to the targeted mRNA. The microRNA or siRNA strand will tag the targeted RNA for cleavage by proteins from the ribonucleoprotein. No translation will occur.

lesya [120]

Explanation:

Hey, there!

The eco-system consists of various type of organisms in tge ecosystem. The all type of organism as producer, decomposer, consumers live in ecosystem.

Three adaptations of organism are:

  • By losing and gaining of organs: Some of the animals lose their organs to survive in some places like yak have more hair to survive in cold places.
  • By changing the colour of body: Some animals such as grasshopper changes their colour to survive in places.
  • By modification of organs: some animals modify their organs to survive such as legs and beak of ducks are modified to survive in swim and search foods.

The importance of adaptation are:

  • It helps organism to live a longer life.
  • The adaptation helps to make an organism fittest to any environment.
  • The adaptation helps an organism to search foods and live their life.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is- B) Cell walls are made primarily of peptidoglycan

Explanation:

There is a difference between the cell wall of bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. The cell wall of bacteria is primarily made up of peptidoglycan which contains two sugar  N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid while archaea contain two N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid (NAT) in place of N-acetylmuramic acid which is called pseudo-peptidoglycan.

Eukaryotic cell wall is also different from archaeal and bacterial cell wall and animals in eukaryotes do not have a cell wall. Therefore cell wall made up primarily of peptidoglycan will allow you to classify the organism as belonging to Bacteria but not Archaea or Eukarya.
