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.

Transcribed Image Text:A negatively regulated operon in E. coli, encodes two enyzmes A and B from a single mRNA transcript, which degrade an
environmental toxin. The presence of the toxin induces transcription of the operon. You have isolated mutations in both genes (A -
and B-) that result in non-functional proteins. You have also isolated a regulatory mutation, which you are calling m1, that that
results in constitutive synthesis of both proteins A and B. The corresponding wild-type allele is designated m1+. When you test
different genotypes and different partial diploids using F' strains, you obtain the results shown in this table.
