Which biological function is not controlled by antisense RNA?
A. iron metabolism in bacteria
B. the circadian rhythm in neurospora
C. replication of prokaryotic genomic DNA
D. replication of ColE1 plasmid
E. developmental control of basic fibroblast growth factor
The correct answer is C
Replication of prokaryotic genomic DNA is not controlled by Antisense RNA.
The replication of prokaryotic DNA begins at a specific point called OriC or replicon.
A replicon is a unit of genome in which the DNA is replicated, it contains an origin for the initiation of replication.
Once antisense RNA produced from particular gene it bound with single stranded DNA(During replication) in open complex and inhibits the movements of replisome(Complex molecular machine carry out DNA replication in Prokaryotes) and thus will inhibit replication.
