Explain the amino–imino forms of cytosine and adenine ?
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 the amino–imino forms of cytosine and adenine ?
Watson and Crick showed a mechanism for the spontaneous occurrence of transitions. Some of the hydrogen atoms on each of the four bases had the ability to change their location in order to produce a tautomer.
An amino group (-NH2) can tautomerize to form an imino form (═NH).
Keto–enol tautomerization is a another classical area of study in the branch of organic chemistry.
