A segment of a protein-encoding gene sequence is given below. 5’-AAGTTTGGCACT-3’ 3’-TTCAAACCGTGA-5’ What is the RNA sequence that would be transcribed off of the bottom strand?
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.

What is the RNA sequence that would be transcribed off of the bottom strand?
Transcription is the process by which the genetic information encoded in DNA is copied into a complementary RNA sequence. This RNA sequence can then be used as a template for protein synthesis.
During transcription, RNA polymerase enzyme binds to a specific region of DNA called the promoter. The DNA strands are then separated, and the RNA polymerase reads the sequence of the template strand of DNA and synthesizes a complementary RNA molecule in the 5' to 3' direction.
