miRAN

Hope it's helpful for you

Answer 2

The odd one out of the given options is snoRNA.(option - b)

• snoRNAs are small nuclear RNAs that have an important role in Ribosomes as ribozymes.
• siRNA, miRNA, and shRNA, all are involved in the regulation of translation.
• Majorly, all are associated with the silencing of genes.
• miRNA(18 - 25 nucleotides in length) degrades the mRNA fully complementary to it and inhibits translation of RNA, which has partial complementarity to it by binding to it.
• siRNA also inhibits the translation of mRNA by the same mechanism as miRNA but has different factors involved.
• shRNA are artificial short hairpin RNA also involved in silencing target gene expression by RNAi or RNA interference.
• RNAi is a technology where a complementary RNA binds to a target mRNA inhibiting the binding of Ribosomes for its translation.
