The coding strand has the following sequence. Please answer the questions below with regard to this coding strand. 5' - A T G C C T T A C G C C C C T G G A G A C G A A A A G A A G G G T G C T A T T A C G T A T T T G A A G A A G G C C A C C T C T G A G T A A – 3' (a) What is the mRNA transcribed from this DNA sequence? What is the amino acid sequence of the protein translated from this mRNA? (b) For some reasons, an amino acid sequence of Ala-Pro-Arg-Asp was found in the protein. Please explain how this sequence appears up in the final product.
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.
