2. Shown below is a schematic of a prokaryotic gene. The light dotted area represents the region that is transcribed. represents the promoter, and the direction of transcription is shown by the arrow. The 5' 3' 3' 5' a. Which strand of the DNA is being used as a template for transcription, the top or the bottom? Why? b. On the diagram, indicate where the start codon would be. What sequence would it have? C. On the diagram, indicate where the stop codon would be. d. On the diagram, indicate where the transcription stop would be found.
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.
