QUESTION 19 Place the following steps in the expression of the lac operon in the order in which each occurs for the first time after a cell is induced. v A phosphodiester bond is formed between two ribonucleotides. v A peptide bond is formed between the first two amino acids in beta-galactosidase (lac Z). Sigma protein binds to a specific DNA sequence. RNA polymerase ends transcription of the lacA gene. v A protein leaves an operator DNA sequence. v A ribosomal RNA binds to a complementary sequence in mRNA.
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.
