Function of Micro-RNA
Correct Answer: Modulate the translation of target mRNAs into their corresponding proteins
Description: The mRNAs, rRNAs, and tRNAs are directly involved in protein synthesis while the other RNAs paicipate in either mRNA splicing (snRNAs) or modulation of gene expression by altering mRNA function (mi/siRNAs) and/or expression (lncRNAs).The miRNAs do not encode proteins; instead, they function primarily to modulate the translation of target mRNAs into their corresponding proteins.Reference: Robbins and Cotran Pathologic basis of disease; 9th edition; Chapter 1; The genome; Page no:4
