non-protein-coding DNA

2
New cards

junk DNA

the genes that did not code for a protein product or have a known function were called this

3
New cards

microRNAs (miRNAs)

small, single stranded RNA molecules that can bind complementary sequences in mRNA

4
New cards

what do miRNAs do

can cause degredation of the target mRNA or even block its translation
