Of the options listed below, which one set of features determines the length of the primary RNA in base pairs, before any processing has occurred?
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.
Consider the generalized structure of a eukaryotic gene, and the RNA it encodes. Of the options listed below, which one set of features determines the length of the primary RNA in base pairs, before any processing has occurred?
- The exon and intron sequences
- The promoter and enhancer sequences
- The start and stop codons for translation
- The transcription start and termination sequences
