Question 8. How is the green fluorescent protein (GFP) attached to the protein for which it serves as a label allowing that protein's dynamic activities to be tracked? A. The GFP itself is attached directly to the coding region of the gene of the protein being studied. B. A recombinant RNA is produced by attaching the GFP MRNA to the MRNA of the desired protein. C. GFP adheres specifically to the desired protein via weak interactions. D. The coding region of the GFP gene is joined to the coding region of the gene that encodes the protein being studied.
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.
The GEP can be described as a protein kind that can be naturally found in some living organisms such Aequorea Victoria. This protein is responsible for emitting green fluorescent signal, if light is present. The composition of GFP includes 238 amino acids. This protein has the ability to absorb a high amount of luminous energy present in the sun and thus results in changing color to green.
