Another difference between miRNA and siRNA is: miRNA inhibits translation by bin

Question

Another difference between miRNA and siRNA is:

miRNA inhibits translation by binding to the 3'UTR of an mRNA whereas siRNA causes RNA cleavage and by binding to any region of an mRNA

siRNA inhibits translation by binding to the 3'UTR of an mRNA whereas miRNA causes RNA cleavage and by binding to any region of an mRNA

miRNA inhibits transcription by binding to the 3' hydroxyl of DNA whereas siRNA inhibits transcription by binding to the 5' phosphate resulting in recombination

There are no differences

Explanation / Answer

Ans. option A is correct

miRNA specifically binds 3'UTR region for terminating translation while siRNA can bind anywhere on the mRNA and causes degradation by cleaving at binding site.
