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.
Answer:
D. Establish monitoring procedures
Explanation:
Answer:
Lymph nodes become swollen in response to illness, infection, or stress.
Explanation:
Swollen lymph nodes are one sign that your lymphatic system is working to rid your body of the responsible agents.
Richter's original magnitude scale (ML) was extended to observations of earthquakes of any distance and of focal depths ranging between 0 and 700 km. Because earthquakes excite both body waves, which travel into and through the Earth, and surface waves, which are constrained to follow the natural waveguide of the Earth's uppermost layers, two magnitude scales evolved - the MB and MS scales.
The standard body-wave magnitude formula is
MB = log10(A/T) + Q(D,h) ,
where A is the amplitude of ground motion (in microns); T is the corresponding period (in seconds); and Q(D,h) is a correction factor that is a function of distance, D (degrees), between epicenter and station and focal depth, h (in kilometers), of the earthquake. The standard surface-wave formula is
MS = log10 (A/T) + 1.66 log10 (D) + 3.30 .
There are many variations of these formulas that take into account effects of specific geographic regions so that the final computed magnitude is reasonably consistent with Richter's original definition of ML. Negative magnitude values are permissible.
