The consequence of the action of many miRNAs is the blocking or reduction of the eventual expression of proteins. What is the mechanism of action by which miRNAs accomplish this?
A) miRNAs complementary base pair with mRNAs and inhibit translation and stimulate mRNA degradation.
B) miRNAs complementary base pair to regulatory regions of genes and inhibit the transcription of genes.
C) miRNAs complementary base pair to the active site on rRNAs and prevent the mRNA from interacting with ribosomes.
D) miRNAs complementary base pair with intron-exon boundary sequences and prevent correct mRNA processing.
