In Drosophila, two non-coding RNAs called roX1 and roX2 are used to a. double the expression of X chromosomal genes in males b. inhibit the expression of one X chromosome in females c. inactivate X chromosomal gene expression in males d. regulate the replication of sex chromosomes in males and female. 19. What is the role of the alpha (a) antisense form in PTEN expression? a. Anneals over complementary areas to prevent degradation. b. Attraction of miRNAs to promote PTEN mRNA degradation. (Continued)

Explanation / Answer

12) RNA Selex is a powerful method to determine the binding site of a protein on RNA.

13) all of the above.

14) A riboswitch is generally present at the 5' UTR region of a mRNA that directly binds to its effector molecules(ligand) to control the translation of that mRNA into protein.

15) oligonucleotide

16)piRNA play its role in gene silencing, especially the silencing of transposons.

17)TERC (Telomerase RNA component) helps replicate telomeres.

18)rox1 and rox2 are required for dosage compensation in male Drosophila by hyper transcribing the X chromosome.
