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.
define the term microsatellites.
Nucleotides form building blocks of DNA, and these blocks are arranged in a definite order in the DNA. The amount of DNA in any cell is immense. In humans, for example, each nucleus contains 6.4 billion nucleotides and they are arranged in a wide variety of combinations. This amount of nucleotide combinations is responsible for storing a large amount of genetic information.
