The antibiotic erythromycin disrupts protein synthesis by binding to the 50 S subunit and preventing ribosomal translocation. No other step in protein synthesis is affected. If you are performing an in vitro translation reaction and add erythromycin just before the 3rd bond that is about to be made and wait a few minutes to look at the ribosome. a.

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.
