#Part-B Specialized Branches in Biotechnology
  1. An miRNA is initially composed of two RNA strands, a passenger strand that will be destroyed and a complementary RNA, the guide strand, that is required for it to work.

  2. an active miRNA regulates target protein-coding genes by binding to complementary sequences in the mRNA

  3. A single miRNA normally binds to transcripts from just one target gene

  4. A single type of mRNA can be regulated by multiple different miRNAs.
