a mutation in the gene encoding Dicer would most likely result in: A) a failure to break the H bonds holding the 2 strands of the siRNA together B) the inability to form H bonds betwen the siRNA and the complementary mRNA that it targets. C) the inability of the target mRNA to be cleaved upon H bonding with the siRNA D) a failure to produce siRNAs responsible for knocking down gene expression E) the failure to produce a dsRNA specific to your gene of interest
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.
