Which of these is a general feature of the lipid bilayer in all biological membranes?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. Individual lipid molecules are free to diffuse laterally in the surface of the bilayer.

  2. Individual lipid molecules in one face (monolayer) of the bilayer readily diffuse (flip-flop) to the other monolayer.

  3. Polar, but uncharged, compounds readily diffuse across the bilayer.

  4. The bilayer is stabilized by covalent bonds between neighboring phospholipid molecules.

With respect to microRNAs, which, if any, of the following statements, is FALSE?)

A. MicroRNA genes often occur in gene clusters within introns of protein-coding genes and are usually transcribed by RNA polymerase II.

B. Like an mRNA a miRNA is initially produced as a larger precursor RNA that, like the great majority of mRNAs, usually has a 5’ cap and a poly(A) tail.

C. MicroRNAs are produced by germ-line cells only.

D. A miRNA is initially produced as a duplex RNA but in order to work it needs to be converted into a single-strand RNA.

E. MicroRNAs usually work as transcription factors.
