II. Discuss the following aspects of transcription: 1. What is meant by monocistronic or polycistronic? How do these differ between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? 2. How does the half-life (amount of time before half of the copies of a molecule degrade) of prokaryotic mRNA compare to that of eukaryotic mRNA? What features contribute to the difference? 3. How does the physical location in the cell of transcription differ between prokaryotes and eukarotes?

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.
