Question 2. From mouse nerve cells you isolate the mouse Tau-gene-containing DNA fragment and hybridize it to the mRNA encoding Tau from the cytoplasm of the same cells. Describe what you see when you look at the molecules under the electron microscope. A. A double-stranded DNA-RNA hybrid with complete overlap of all the sequences. B. A partially double stranded DNA-RNA hybrid molecule containing regions of DNA-RNA overlap representing the mRNA exons, loops where there are introns and tails at the 5' and 3' ends. C. A partially double-stranded molecule containing regions of DNA-RNA overlap representing the mRNA introns, loops where there are introns and tails at the 5' and 3' ends. D. Regions of DNA-RNA overlap representing the mRNA exons and loops where there are introns with no tails at the 5' or 3' ends. E. Two distinct molecules with no overlapping regions.
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.
