Textbook Question
Chapter 17.1, Problem 2COMQ
When an ncRNA functions as a decoy, it
a. contains binding sites for many different proteins, thereby promoting the formation of a large complex.
b. recognizes other ncRNAs and sequesters them, thereby preventing them from working.
c. can alter its conformation, allowing it to switch between active and inactivate conformations.
d. may physically prevent or block a cellular process from happening.

Imagine the four basic components of gene regulation are DNA, RNA, proteins, and small molecules. Which of these things can ncRNA interact with?
After tmRNA releases an mRNA and aberrant polypeptide from a stuck ribosome, the resulting polypeptide will
A) be translated
B) be destroyed by a protease
C) be inserted into the cell membrane
D) be used to regulate gene expression
a mutation in the gene encoding Dicer would most likely result in:
A) a failure to break the H bonds holding the 2 strands of the siRNA together
B) the inability to form H bonds betwen the siRNA and the complementary mRNA that it targets.
C) the inability of the target mRNA to be cleaved upon H bonding with the siRNA
D) a failure to produce siRNAs responsible for knocking down gene expression
E) the failure to produce a dsRNA specific to your gene of interest
