Question
)Certain drugs use RNA interference as a mechanism of action. What molecule would the active compounds of these drugs be composed of? 2 A) Carbohydrate B) Protein C) Small ion D) Steroid E) Nucleic acid If a cell's splicesomes were mutated so they no longer functioned normally, what consequences would result? A) Transcription would cease. B) Exons would be missing in the mature mRNA. C) A functional protein would still be produced. D) RNA processing would remain intact. E) Introns would remain in the mature mRNA.Explanation / Answer
(1)E.Nucleic acids
RNA interference uses SiRNA to silence the gene expression. RNA is a class of nucleic acids.
(2)E.Introns would remain in the mature mRNA
Spliceosome functions to remove noncoding sequences called introns from the mRNA to produce mature mRNA for translation.
