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.

Question
In this depiction of trascription, the ___ strand is ___ because it ___.
upper; RNA; contains guanine
upper; RNA; has no uracil
lower; DNA; contains adenine
lower; RNA; contains thymine
upper; RNA; contains uracil

Transcribed Image Text:The image illustrates a segment of RNA paired with a complementary DNA sequence.
- The top row, shown in brown, represents the RNA sequence: CCUCUUCAG.
- The complementary DNA sequence is shown in blue on the bottom row: GGAGAAGTC.
Each nucleotide in the RNA strand is paired with its corresponding base in the DNA strand:
- C (Cytosine) pairs with G (Guanine)
- U (Uracil in RNA, replaced by Thymine T in DNA) pairs with A (Adenine)
- A (Adenine) pairs with T (Thymine)
- G (Guanine) pairs with C (Cytosine)
The diagram visually demonstrates the base-pairing rules, crucial for understanding processes such as transcription and translation in molecular biology.
