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 how an α helix in a transcription factor protein is able to function as a recognition helix.
Transcription is the first step in central dogma of protein synthesis. It involves formation of single stranded mRNA using DNA strand as template with the help of specific enzymes. Transcription factors are essential regulatory proteins that bind to specific sites and regulate the process of transcription.
