An EMS mutagenesis screen identified several mutants in this gene. The figure shows the position of two of these mutations a and b. The ucleotides are altered in these 2 different swo-1 mutant alleles. Use the genetic table to describe any AA changes. Name the type of mutation and describe its effect on swo-1 mRNA and protein for each of the mutations
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.

5. The swo-1 a mutation leads to worms with more body wall muscle, whereas worms with the swo-1 b mutation are not able to move. Based on these
wild-type version of this protein plays in muscle function.

Hi, I only need the answer for this particular question, if that's ok:
The swo-1 a mutation leads to worms with more body wall muscle, whereas worms with the swo-1 b mutation are not able to move. Based on these
wild-type version of this protein plays in muscle function.
Thank you!
