Humans have ~20,000 genes which create > 100,000 proteins used by our cells. What process enables this evolutionary success story? A. Coupling of transcription and translation to produce mature mRNAs B. Addition of the 5' cap and 3' poly-A tail to produce mature mRNAs C. Alternative expression of introns to produce mature mRNAs D. Alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs to produce mature mRNAs
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.
