Discuss the differences between transposable elements that are genomic parasites and transposable elements that have become domesticated. Do you think these terms (genomic parasite and domesticated transposable elements) are good choices for these types of elements? Why or why not?
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.
Discuss the differences between transposable elements that are genomic
A transposon can be defined as the characteristic mobile genetic element. These elements can translocate between different regions of the DNA and is responsible for the formation of intragenic duplications.
