. Using a cDNA library, you isolated two differentcDNA clones that have sequences indicating that theyboth correspond to mRNAs transcribed from the samenerve growth factor gene. The beginning and endingsequences of the clones are the same, but the middlesequence is different. How can you explain the different cDNAs?
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.

A complementary DNA library (cDNA) represents the genes collection that is encoded into the protein by an organism. It is created by reverse transcription of messenger RNA. The cDNA library is formed by the cloning technology.
