The first 15 bases of the original coding informational strand of DNA (which continues after what is shown) are 5-ATGAAACCCGGGTTT(...)-3'. Which of the following mutations to this original strand would be silent and which would likely only have a small effect on the coded protein? (Again, only the first 15 bases of the DNA strand are shown, even though they continue on. HINT: To solve this, you might write out the template DNA strand, the mRNA strand that would be made, and the resulting amino acids for the start of the protein.) Mutation #1: 5-ATGAAAGCCCGGGTT(...)-3' Mutation #2: 5-ATGAACCCCGGGTTT(...)-3' Mutation #3: 5-ATGAACCCGGGTTTA(...)-3' Mutation #4: 5-ATGAAGCCCGGGTTT(...)-3' Mutation #5: 5-ATGTAACCCGGGTTT(...)-3'
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.
