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.
- The given 5’-3’ duplex #1 sequence (copied again below) is a small segment of the coding/sense strand of a certain gene and lies within exon 2. The start codon for the gene is in exon 1, and the stop codon is in exon 5. What is the corresponding mRNA and protein sequence?
