Question

In C. elegans, evidence suggests that the miRNAs such as let-7 control developmental timing. What types of evidence led to this conclusion? Describe/explain the experiment that showed this.

Answer 1

Caenorhbitis elegans A micro RNA is a small non coding RNA molecule found in plants and animals.this C.elegans is a nematode .An evidence that suggests that the reciprocal interactions between heteochronic genes and the P38 innate immune pathway help to coordinate development with pathogen defence.

The robustness of development cell fate expression during infection depends on functional redundancy among genes coding miRNA of the let 7 family.these findings are underscore the importance of pathways.
