A scientist is studying the HOTAIR ncRNA in human cells growing in culture. She identifies a mutation in a cell line that she suspects may affect the function of HOTAIR. The mutation changes the sequence in region 2 from 5?-CUCCCUU-3? to 5?-CUGGACG-3? (see diagram). How will this mutation affect the function of HOTAIR?
A. The mutant HOTAIR will bind to different target genes than the normal HOTAIR, but it will not inhibit their expression. B. The mutant HOTAIR will bind to the same target genes as the normal HOTAIR, but it will not inhibit their expression. C. The mutant HOTAIR will bind to different target genes than the normal HOTAIR, and it will inhibit their expression. D. The mutant HOTAIR will not be produced. E. There will be no difference in the function of the mutant and normal HOTAIR ncRNAs.
