An operon is repressible—a small effector molecule turns off itstranscription. Which combination(s) of small effector molecule andregulatory protein could be involved in this process?A. An inducer plus a repressorB. A corepressor plus a repressorC. An inhibitor plus an activatorD. An inducer plus an activator
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.
