Which statement about microRNAs is false?
A) They inhibit the translation of specific mRNAs by causing their premature degradation.
B) They are small (less than 30 nucleotides in length).
C) Any particular microRNA can regulate the expression of many target genes.
D) They are transcribed.
E) They serve an important function in alternate splicing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MicroRNAs do not serve an important function in alternate splicing. They primarily function in the regulation of gene expression through post-transcriptional modification of mRNA stability and translation inhibition.
