Regarding noncoding RNA, which of the following statements is false? HOTAIR RNA works as a scaffold that binds specific protein regulators at its two ends. Many long noncoding RNAs work in epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Most regulatory long noncoding RNAs work as trans-acting regulators. HOTAIR RNA is produced by a gene in the HOXC homeobox gene cluster at 12q13 but can regulate multiple genes within the HOXD gene cluster on chromosome 2. Noncoding RNAs are mostly involved in translation processes.
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.
