The following non-coding sequence (i.e. template strand) is transcribed by the RNA pol II into a pre-mRNA. 5'-CTAACTGCTATGCAT-3' a) Determine the mRNA synthesized by the RNA pol II. You have to write the sequence from the 5' end to the 3' end and indicate those ends as shown in the original sequence. b) Using the genetic code provided below, determine the amino acid sequence if the mRNA determined in part a) were translated. You have to write the amino acid sequence from the N-terminus end to the C-terminus end and indicate those at each and in parentheses. For example: (N)-.......-(C) A mutation occurred in the nucleotide sequence, and the new non-coding sequence is shown below: 5'-CTAACTGCTAGTGCAT-3' c) Indicate the specific mutation that occurred in the non-coding strand and its type. d) What consequence will the mutation have on the polypeptide chain? Justify your answer and write the new polypeptide sequence if it has changed as a result of this mutation. You have to write the amino acid sequence from the N-terminus end to the C-terminus end and indicate those at each and in parentheses. For example: (N)-.......-(C)
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.
