. Which of the following is an example of post-transcriptional gene repression?a. The amount of RNA transcribed from a gene isreduced because the DNA is methylated.b. The amount of RNA is reduced because it is rapidlydegraded.c. The amount of protein made is reduced by action ofan miRNA.d. b and c are both correct.
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.
. Which of the following is an example of post-transcriptional gene repression?
a. The amount of RNA transcribed from a gene is
reduced because the DNA is methylated.
b. The amount of RNA is reduced because it is rapidly
degraded.
c. The amount of protein made is reduced by action of
an miRNA.
d. b and c are both correct.
