Suppose that a consensus sequence in the regulatory promotor of a eukaryotic gene that encodes an enzyme – let's call it finalexamase – was deleted. Which of the following effects would result from this deletion? (yes or no) 1. Finalexamase would have a different amino acid sequence. (yes or no)? 2. The mRNA for finalexamase would be abnormally short. (yes or no)? 3. Finalexamase would be missing some amino acids. (yes or no)? 4. The mRNA for finalexamase would be transcribed but not translated. (yes or no)? 5. The quantity of mRNA for finalexamase that is transcribed would be affected. (yes or no)?
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.
