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 why large amounts of transcript result when a bacterium with a lac Operon is in a medium with no glucose and an abundance of lactose.
Transcription is the process by which RNA is synthesized from DNA. The messenger RNA or mRNA transcripts are then translated into proteins, which perform important functions of the body.
