In Worked Example 26.4, we derived the mRNA sequence of nucleotides shown. What is the sequence of amino acids coded for by the mRNA sequence? 5′AAC GUU CAA ACU GUC 3′
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.
In Worked Example 26.4, we derived the mRNA sequence of
5′AAC GUU CAA ACU GUC 3′
Translation is a process which involves the synthesis of an amino acid chain from an mRNA sequence. These polypeptide chains into functional proteins. Each codon which is a sequence of three nucleotide sequence only codes for 1 amino acid. This property of genetic code is called degeneracy of genetic codon.
