Answer
Gene Regulation: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in gene regulation. They bind to specific messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and prevent their translation into proteins. This process, known as RNA interference, allows miRNAs to control the expression of specific genes and modulate cellular processes such as development, differentiation, and metabolism.
