scientist isolates two specific mRNAs. One codes for the enzyme fowlase, an enzyme that is involved in digestion in chickadees; the other codes for the quail enzyme quailase that is involved in cellular carbohydrate metabolism. Both mRNAs are placed in a test tube with RER vesicles stripped of their ribosomes, free ribosomes and precursors for protein synthesis. When the protein synthesis reaction is complete, fowlase is found inside the vesicles; quailase is found in the liquid portion of the test tube outside the vesicles. What can one conclude about the two proteins?
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.
