Which of the following statements is/are correct?
A) MicroRNAs bind DNA and block transcription.
B) MicroRNAs bind mRNA and block translation.
C) MicroRNAs bind ribosomal RNA and block translation.
D) all of the above
MicroRNAs
Small non-coding RNA molecules that play a role in regulating gene expression by binding to and silencing target mRNAs.
Transcription
Transcription is the process that takes place when RNA polymerase reads a coding sequence of DNA and produces a complementary strand of RNA, called messenger RNA (mRNA).
Translation
Translation is the process that takes place when a strand of mRNA is decoded by a ribosome to produce a protein.
