Consider two genes that are next to each other on a chromosome, as arranged in the figure P0509 jpg Which of the following statements is true? O a Gene A and gene B can be transcribed at different rates, producing different amounts of RNA within the same cell. O b The two genes must be transcribed into RNA using the same strand of DNA. (another way of saying this, is if gene A is in the top strand, then gene must be in the top strand Oc. If gene A is transcribed in a cell, gene B must be transcribed. Od. If gene A is transcribed in a cell, gene B cannot be transcribed.
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.
