Why are proteins unfolded in order to enter the mitohondria during post-translational transport? Which transport proteins do they enter through? Is it a receptor? Does it take energy to bring the unfolded protein in? What kind of proteins are brought into the mitochondria and why? Also, why are the proteins folded back up once it enters the mitochindria? Please help me understand this a little bit better...Thank you
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.
