When an ncRNA functions as a decoy, ita. contains binding sites for many different proteins, therebypromoting the formation of a large complex.b. recognizes other ncRNAs and sequesters them, therebypreventing them from working.c. can alter its conformation, allowing it to switch betweenactive and inactivate conformations.d. may physically prevent or block a cellular process fromhappening.
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.
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.
