Which of the following is an example of post-transcriptional control of gene expression?a. the addition of methyl groups to cytosine bases of DNAb. the binding of transcription factors to a promoterc. the removal of introns and alternative splicing of exonsd. gene amplification contributing to cancer

MicroRNAs and small interfering RNAs both function similarly in "silencing" genes. What are two ways in which they may act?

It is hypothesized that an increase in the number and diversity of noncoding RNA (ncRNA) in the genomes of species has driven the evolution of morphological complexity by way of their influence on gene regulation. Which of the following accurately represents our current understanding of the role that ncRNA is thought to play in gene regulation?

What is alternative splicing?a. phosphorylation that leads to different types of post-translational regulationb. mRNA processing that leads to different combinations of exons being spliced togetherc. folding that leads to proteins with alternative conformationsd. the outcome of regulatory proteins that leads to changes in the life span of an mRNA
