Question

If this is a really short miRNA (a rs-miRNA, which only exists for this problem) had the sequence AAA AAA CCC GGC CCG GCC AAA AAA AAA GGC CGG GCC GGG AAA AAA, figure out the double stranded part of the rs-miRNA, and then figure out which RNA below is targeted:

A. AGT AAG TAA GTA AGT CCC GGC CCG GCC AGT AAG TAA GTA AGT.

B. AGT AAG TAA GTA AGT AAA AAA TAA GTA AGT AAG TAA GTA AGT.

C. AGT AAG TAA GTA AGT GGC CGG GCC GGG TAA GTA AGT AAG TAA.

D. AGT AAG TAA GTA AGT TAA GTA AGT AAG TAA GTA AGT GTA AGT.

E. All of the above.

F. A and B

G. A and C

H. B and D

Explanation / Answer

Mirna is stand for mico rna. it is a small non coding RNA moleculewhich containing about 22 nucleotides which is found in the plant animals and in some viruses.the functions in the rna is that it is used to function in RNA silencing and transcripting the regulations of the gene expressions.

in the given problem it is state that we have to find out the targeted component with respect to the gene.

so the correct answer is E it is because it have all the chaneces to get targeted the genes accordingly.
