The leading strand in DNA replication requires only one primer for its synthesis. The lagging strand requires several primers because a. the lagging strand is prepared in short segments b. the lagging strand lacks a topoisomerase c. the leading strand serves as a template for the lagging strand d. All DNA polymerases read from the 5′ end.
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.
