A gene contains the sequence CGCATACGGTAC that results in the amino acid sequence arg-ile-arg- tyr. A mutation in this gene has a G inserted after the second C in the strand. How will this mutation affect the phenotype? A:This will affect the phenotype because although most of the protein will be identical, the first amino acid will be different. B:This will not affect the phenotype because only the second amino acid is different from the original protein. C:This will not affect the phenotype because the protein will be identical to the original protein. D:This will affect the phenotvpe because all of the amino acids after the first one will be different from he original protein

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.
