Comparison of the same gene and its product in two different animal species revealed that the amino acids are 98 percent identical but the nucleotides are only 86 percent identical. What accounts for the much higher amino acid identity than nucleotide identity? A, The genetic code is redundant. B,The researchers sequenced different template strands. C, The genetic code differs between species. D,The genetic code is ambiguous.
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.
