4
Q
What is DNA Methylation?
A
CH3 binds to mRNA and inhibits transcription
5
Q
What is alternative mRNA splicing?
A
differential arrangement of introns and exons
6
Q
What does miRNA do?
A
Binds and tags mRNA for destruction
7
Q
What is a protosome?
A
A protein with an additive bound to it
- i.e., cholesterol, protoprotein, glycoprotein
