A student reads that deer mice that migrated to the hills of Nebraska originally had dark colored coats. Over many years, due to a mutation, the coat color of the mice changed to a lighter color to blend in easily with the sand. Which argument summarizes the mutation in deer mice? O It is a harmful mutation as it caused a change in the original coat color of mice. O It is a beneficial mutation as it helped the mice survive in their new surroundings. O It is a neutral mutation as the change in coat color did not affect any body functions in the mice, and only helped the survival of the deer mice living in Nebraska. O Itis a neutral mutation as only the deer mice living in Nebraska were affected, and all other populations were unaffected.

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.
