QUESTION 13 You have isolated a nonsense mutation caused by a base substitution. This mutation is a null allele. You then use this mutant to select for second mutations that suppress the null phenotype back to a more wild-type phenotype. In theory, which of of the following types of second mutations are possible? O A reverse mutation of the nonsense mutation O A mutation in the anticodon of a tRNA gene O A precise deletion of the codon containing the nonsense mutation
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.
