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.
![The given exercise focuses on the transcription process where DNA is converted into mRNA as part of gene expression. Below are the DNA sequences with dropdown selections for transcribing each nucleotide into mRNA.
**DNA Sequence:**
- A
- G
- G
- T
- T
- A
- C
- T
- G
**Transcription Process:**
During transcription, the DNA sequence is used as a template to create a complementary mRNA strand. In mRNA, Thymine (T) is replaced with Uracil (U).
**Steps:**
1. Adenine (A) on DNA transcribes to Uracil (U) on mRNA.
2. Guanine (G) on DNA transcribes to Cytosine (C) on mRNA.
3. Thymine (T) on DNA transcribes to Adenine (A) on mRNA.
4. Cytosine (C) on DNA transcribes to Guanine (G) on mRNA.
The dropdowns allow users to select the appropriate mRNA nucleotide corresponding to each DNA nucleotide. This interactive approach helps learners understand the transcription mechanism by translating a DNA sequence into its mRNA counterpart.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F165f5551-99fc-4800-9810-1597ce53807c%2F3c817d43-5c52-4ce2-b376-e465fd7365a1%2F2t8zvdu_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
![**Transcription Activity: DNA to mRNA**
**Instructions:**
The process by which DNA instructions are converted into a functional product is known as gene expression. In this activity, you will transcribe the given DNA sequence into mRNA. Use the dropdown menus to select the appropriate mRNA bases.
**DNA Sequence:**
- A
- G
- T
- T
- C
- A
- C
- T
- G
**Dropdown Options for Each DNA Base:**
- U (Uracil)
- T (Thymine)
- A (Adenine)
- G (Guanine)
- C (Cytosine)
**Objective:**
Select the correct mRNA base using the complementary rules of transcription, where:
- A (Adenine) pairs with U (Uracil)
- T (Thymine) pairs with A (Adenine)
- C (Cytosine) pairs with G (Guanine)
- G (Guanine) pairs with C (Cytosine)
