In eukaryotic organisms, pre-mRNA transcripts are formed and need to be modified in order to create the mature mRNA destined for translation. Which of the following indicate modifications that occur as part of this process? a. The pre-mRNA is spliced to produce multiple mature mRNAs b. A 3' poly-A tail is attached to the mature mRNA c. A 5' cap is attached to the mature mRNA d. All of the above are ways in which the pre-mRNA is modified to create the mature mRNA e. None of the above are ways in which the pre-mRNA is modified to create the mature mRNA
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.
