explain what coupled transcription-translation is, and why it occurs in prokaryotes but not eukaryotes
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.
6. explain what coupled transcription-translation is, and why it occurs in prokaryotes but not eukaryotes
According to the central dogma of molecular biology, the process of gene expression involves two steps.
The first step is transcription that produces the mRNA corresponding to a gene and the second step is translation in which the mRNA directs the synthesis of the protein corresponding to the gene.
