Parts A-C in the table show the genotypes for two partial diploid strains of the lac operon. Gene names have been simplified (i.e., LacZ is shown as Z). Alleles are shown using superscript notation There are two copies of the operon, one line is the copy in the genome and the other line is in a plasmid. In the blanks, indicate the effect of the partial diploid strains' genotype on the expression of the structure gene specified in the header of the table. Choose "functional" if you expect that a amount of normal enzyme will be made, "nonfunctional" if you expect that transcription occurs bu only the mutated enzyme is made, or "no transcription" if the structural gene is not transcribed. Assume glucose is absent. Genotype (A) (B) (C) I- P+ O+ Z+Y- I+ P- O+ Z-Y+ I- P+ OC Z+ Y- I+ P+ O+ Z- Y+ IS P+ OC Z+Y- I- P+ O+ Z- Y+ LacY Presence of Lactose? 1. [Select] 3. [Select] 5. [Select] Absence of Lactose? 2. [Select] 4. [Select] 6. [Select]
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.
