Question

What is the correlation between miRNA diversity and animal complexity? What is the correlation between miRNA diversity and animal complexity? miRNA diversity and animal complexity are not correlated. miRNA diversity and animal complexity are positively correlated. miRNA diversity and animal complexity are negatively correlated. It is impossible to determine whether miRNA diversity and animal complexity are correlated.

Answer 1

Answer: miRNA diversity and animal complexity are positively correlated.

Explanation:

MicroRNA are very important for gene expression in offspring. The positive correlation of miRNA to animal complexity suggests that differences in animal complexity result from differences in developmental regulation of gene expression.
