Once a primary RNA transcript is created from a DNA template, it must be modified in several ways before becoming messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA) or transfer RNA (tRNA). The following image shows RNA processing of one pre-mRNA into mRNA. Note that pre-RNA is processed in three ways: 1) a 5' methylguanylate cap (G cap) is added, 2) a poly-A tail is added, and 3) the spliceosome removes introns from the pre-mRNA transcript. Please redraw the following diagram and label the following on your diagram: DNA Promoter pre-mRNA (unprocessed) mRNA *5' methylguanylate cap *polyadenylation *Exon (may be more than one) *Intron (may be more than one) Transcription RNA processing AAAAA
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.
