A region of DNA has six copies of a trinucleotide repeat. During one round of replication, the template strand slips as shown in the diagram. How many repeats will the DNA have if the newly synthesized strand is used as a template in the next round of replication? 1 5'-CAG 3-GTC GTC GTC 1 4 5 2 GTCH 2 3 CAG CAG GTC 4 CAG 3' GTC-5' 6 Next round of DNA replication
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.
