Indicate True (T) and False (F) Statements Below Regarding MRNA

question 42

Short Answer

Indicate true (T) and false (F) statements below regarding mRNA stability and degradation. Your answer would be a four-letter string composed of letters T and F only, e.g. TTFT.
( ) Any factor that affects the translation efficiency of an mRNA tends to have the opposite effect on its degradation.
( ) Decapping of mRNA normally occurs after poly-A tail shortening removes the poly-A tail and starts chewing into the 3?-UTR.
( ) Most mRNA decay in the cells generally proceeds via endonucleolytic cleavage.
( ) As a general rule, eukaryotic mRNAs have a shorter half-life compared to bacterial mRNAs.
