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.
How can your body make so many different antibodies (proteins) from just a select set of genes?
The immune system of the body is responsible to provide defense against the attack of external agents that may lead to infections and diseases. The epithelial cells are the first line of defense that is present on the surface of the body and also on the surface of the internal structures. It is a part of the innate immune response, and non-specific in nature. The adaptive immune system provides response against the pathogen that had caused prior infection in the body.
