Textbook Question
Chapter 18.3, Problem 2CC
WH AT IF? Ø Suppose the mRNA being degraded in Figure 18.14 coded for a protein that promotes cell division in a multicellular organism. What would happen if a muta- tion disabled the gene for the miRNA that triggers this degradation?

What are the differences between miRNA and siRNA?
(Select all that apply.)
OmiRNAs carry the genetic information from the DNA in
the nucleus directly to the cytoplasm, and siRNAs are
involved in the degradation of specific mRNA molecules.
miRNAs are from 22 to 30 bases long, and siRNAs are 22
bases long.
O miRNAs carry the genetic information from the DNA in
the nucleus directly to the cytoplasm, and siRNAs help
with the processing of the initial mRNA transcribed from
DNA into a mature form.
miRNAs prevent translation of certain mRNAs, and
siRNAs are involved in the degradation of specific mRNA
molecules.
miRNAs are 20 to 22 bases long, and siRNAs are from 20
to 30 bases long.
Suppose multiple mutations occur in the U1 snRNA. Which step in the mRNA Spllcing
mechanism would be directly impaired?
The second transesterification reaction
5' splice site/donor site recognition
3' splice site/acceptor site recognition
O Branch site recognition
. Eukaryotic processing of hnRNA into mature mRNA includes all of the following steps except:
ribosome attachment of methionine to the 5’-AUG-3’ codon
5’-addition of a 7-methylguanosine cap
3’-addition of a polyadenylated tail
splicing together of exons
excision of introns
