the corrective actions made by the bionic pancreas on a regular basis in response to changing blood sugar levels are similar to
Art [367]

The correct answer is: a feedback mechanism.

The bionic pancreas is bio-engineered device used for the regulation of blood sugar levels in order to maintain body homeostasis. The bionic pancreas includes a sensor that monitors blood sugar levels and sends a signal to a separate device that will then release the appropriate hormone into the bloodstream to return blood sugar levels back to normal. This device is very functional because of its ability to dose insulin and glucagon based on continuous sugar blood measurements.

levacccp [35]

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.
