Mechanisms that inhibit TE activity include theproduction of transposition repressors throughalternative splicing and the action of _________ thatblock TE transcription.
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.
Mechanisms that inhibit TE activity include the
production of transposition repressors through
alternative splicing and the action of _________ that
block TE transcription.
Transposable elements (TEs) are the small segments of DNA that can move from one position to other in the genome regardless of its origin and function. These are regarded as "selfish" parasitic entities. They may or may not useful for the host. TEs can alter the genomes of individuals and cause mutations in organisms.
