C-met is an oncogene that contributes to the development of certain cancers by triggering cell division and tumor growth. in a 2009 article, yan and colleagues found regions in the 3' untranslated region of c-met mrna complementary to microrna-1/206. in addition, higher levels of microrna-1/206 were associated with slower cell proliferation. what is a likely explanation for the inverse correlation between microrna-1/206 and cell proliferation?

G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis

Explanation:

According to Yan and colleagues 2009 article, cells that were transfected with microRNA-1/206 showed cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and showed an increase in apoptosis (programmed cell death) which is important for synthesis of mRNA and protein. These processes have a direct effect on cell proliferation by decreasing it.

the answer is b

explanation:

i think the miocene epoch spans the time from 23 million to 12 million years ago.
