For each element in the list that follows, indicate whatkind of molecule it is (DNA, RNA, protein, smallmolecule), whether it acts as a positive or negativeregulator, what stage of gene expression it affects, andwhether it acts in cis or in trans.

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.
For each element in the list that follows, indicate what
kind of molecule it is (DNA, RNA, protein, small
molecule), whether it acts as a positive or negative
regulator, what stage of gene expression it affects, and
whether it acts in cis or in trans. (In its most general
sense, the term cis describes elements that affect the function of the molecule of which it is a part, while
trans describes elements on one molecule that affect
the function of a different molecule.)
a. Lac repressor
b. lac operator
c. CRP
d. CRP-binding site
e. Trp repressor
f. charged tRNATrp (in terms of its function at the
trp operon)
g. the antiterminator at the trp operon
h. a terminator in the expression platform of a
riboswitch
i. an sRNA that blocks mRNA translation
