Question

Indicate whether each of the following descriptions better matches miRNAs (M) orsiRNAs (S) in animal cells. Your answer would be a four-letter string composed of letters M andS only, e.g. MMMM.(a) They usually cleave their target RNAs using the slicing activity of the Argonautes.(b) They typically show perfect complementarity with their target RNA.(c)They can bind to the RITS as well as the RISC complex.(d) They seem to be the more ancient form of small noncoding RNAs.

Answer 1

Answer:

The response is miRNAs

Explanation:

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionary conserved noncoding RNAs capable of controlling gene expression both at transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Moreover, RITS and RISC are multi-protein complexes that are composed by Argonaute (Ago) proteins bound to miRNAs. These complexes are known to silence target gene expression  by the RNA interference mechanism
