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.
Create a hybrid cDNA-mRNA molecule using reverse transcriptase and oligo-dT primer, what is step 3 of making a cDNA library?
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a genetic material containing thousands of genes which code for various amino acids and proteins for the functioning of the body. The DNA formed in the nucleus is condensed into chromosomes packed with histone proteins which help in keeping the strands of DNA intact and untangled. The double-helical structure of DNA and its structural properties was given by watson and crick.
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) also contains genetic material but rarely takes part in transferring the genes from one generation to another like DNA. Instead, it plays a vital role in ribosome and protein synthesis. RNA forms in the nucleolus, and then moves to the cytoplasm. Types of RNA are, mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA) and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).
