Explain a mechanism for how a nuclear-encoded protein is targeted to the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. Explain the mechanism for how a nuclear-encoded protein is targeted to the thylakoid membrane.
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.
Explain a mechanism for how a nuclear-encoded protein is targeted to the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. Explain the mechanism for how a nuclear-encoded protein is targeted to the thylakoid membrane.
Describe an experiment that could be conducted to show that there is a targeting system for a nuclear encoded protein that ultimately finds its way to a specific organelle.
