- Pre-mRNAs in mitochondria are converted to maturemRNAs through which process?arrow_forwardMicroRNAs are small RNA molecules that bind to the 3′ end of mRNA and suppress translation . Some eukaryotic mRNAs have internal ribosome-binding sites downstream of the 5′ cap, where ribosomes normally bind. In one investigation, miRNAs did not suppress translation by ribosomes that had attached to internal ribosomebinding sites ). What does this finding suggest about how miRNAs suppress translation?arrow_forwardSo the spliceosome is a structure that allows RNA splicing to occur, expelling the introns. Does this produce the coding sequences that ultimately generate the mature RNA? Does any malfunction within the spliceosome give rise to alternative splicing?arrow_forward
