Question
A newly identified protein from the  cells of the Panopyra plant on Pandora was shown to inhibit translation of its target genes by binding to the 5’ UTR of the mRNA and preventing ribosome binding.  A possible way this inhibition may be relieved by an sRNA would be: 
Group of answer choices
1.The sRNA acts as a marker, flagging the inhibitory protein for ubiquitination and allowing translation to take place.
2.The sRNA acts as a decoy, sequestering the inhibitory protein and allowing translation to take place.
3.The sRNA acts as an enhancer, suppressing the inhibitory protein and allowing translation to take place.
4.The sRNA acts as a silencer, suppressing the inhibitory protein and allowing translation to take place.
