A particular mature miRNA (microRNA) in mice has sequence 5'-UUCCCUGAGACCUCAAGUGUGA-3'. a. If you wanted to predict which mouse mRNAs are regulated by this miRNA, what would you look for? Choose one or more. i. mRNA sequence the same as the miRNA sequence ii. mRNA sequence complementary to the miRNA sequence iii. mRNA sequence including a RISC binding site iv. mRNA sequence including 5'-CUCAGGGAA-3' mRNA sequence including 5'-UUCCCUGAG-3' V. b. Your sequence analysis predicts that 200 mRNAs may be targets of this miRNA. You engineer mouse cells that produce an excess of this miRNA. For the real targets, we predict that in these cells over-expressing the miRNA, compared to the unmodified cells. Choose one or more, and explain.

Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:A particular mature miRNA (microRNA) in mice has sequence 5'-UUCCCUGAGACCUCAAGUGUGA-3'.
a. If you wanted to predict which mouse mRNAs are regulated by this miRNA, what would you look
for? Choose one or more.
i. mRNA sequence the same as the miRNA sequence
ii. mRNA sequence complementary to the miRNA sequence
iii. mRNA sequence including a RISC binding site
iv.
mRNA sequence including 5'-CUCAGGGAA-3'
v. mRNA sequence including 5'-UUCCCUGAG-3'
b. Your sequence analysis predicts that 200 mRNAs may be targets of this miRNA. You engineer
mouse cells that produce an excess of this miRNA. For the real targets, we predict that
in these cells over-expressing the miRNA, compared to the unmodified cells.
Choose one or more, and explain.
i. The target gene is deleted in cells with an excess of the miRNA
ii.
The target is translated less in cells with an excess of the miRNA
iii. The target is translated more in cells with an excess of the miRNA
iv. There is more of the target mRNA in cells with an excess of the miRNA
v.
There is less of the protein product of the target mRNA in cells with an excess of
the miRNA
C.
vi.
There is more of the protein product of the target mRNA in cells with an excess
of the miRNA
Would you expect to find one or many mRNAs that are genuinely regulated by the miRNA?
One
Many
