QUESTION 12 The RNA World Hypothesis is kind of asking the question 'what inside the cell is alive'. Which of the following statements or ideas is least relevant, least supportive, of the RNA World Hypothesis? O A. RNAS have the potential for replication using complementary base pair interactions. В. RNAS can fold up into structural objects with specific functions, such as tRNAs. Other RNA objects are responsible for important reactions such as pre-MRNA splicing and peptide bond formation. O C. Ribonucleotides in the form of the dinucleotides NAD and FAD act as critical carries of electrons and protons for oxidation/reduction reactions. O D. The flow of information described by the Central Dogma, i.e., DNA goes to RNA goes to protein, shows that RNA is at the center. O E. One of the ribonucleotide building blocks, ATP, serves as the most important source of energy for almost all aspects of cellular metabolism. Other ribonucleotides such as GTP and CAMP often act as switching and signalling molecules.
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.
