A transformation experiment is performed with a donor strain that is resistant to four drugs: W, X, Y, and Z. The recipient is sensitive to all four drugs. The treated recipient population is divided up and plated on media containing various combinations of the drugs. The table below shows the results:

Following observation are given

A) X gene is obviously quite distant from the other three genes

B) Y gene is obviously quite distant from the other three genes

C) The Order is three closely link gene W Z Y

D) The Order is three closely link gene W X Z

Which of the following combination is correct?

miRNAs are encoded in the genome as segments of longer transcripts. Their characteristic structure helps identify them and predict the target genes they might regulate. Which of the following are the characteristic features of these small RNA molecules?

I. The functional form of an miRNA is typically 21 or 22 nucleotides (it can vary from 19 to 25 nucleotides).

II. The first cleavage liberates the stem-loop, called the pre-miRNA; the second generates the mature miRNA from the pre-miRNA.

III. The pre-miRNAs can be encoded by any part of a transcript: that is, they might fall within coding regions, within leader regions, or within Introns.

IV. The base pairing between miRNA and target RNA is initiated by interactions of so-called seed residues—the sequence between bases 2 and 9 of the 22-nucleotide miRNA.
