If the following changes occurred in the gene, identify the type of mutation and how it would affect the protein made (amino acid) Changes: Second codon change from GGC to AGC Third adenine base changed to a guanine base Ninth nucleotide changes from C to T Nucleotide with adenine (A) base inserted between 3rd and 4th nucleotide
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.
A gene is a piece of DNA that codes for a protein. Genes are transcribed into mRNA and are on the antisense strand of DNA.
If the following changes occurred in the gene, identify the type of mutation and how it would affect the protein made (amino acid)
Changes:
- Second codon change from GGC to AGC
- Third adenine base changed to a guanine base
- Ninth nucleotide changes from C to T
- Nucleotide with adenine (A) base inserted between 3rd and 4th nucleotide
