The mass of mRNA that has copied a segment of DNA is 36,000 units, the mRNA is placed in the ribosome and represents 60% of it. Determine the mass of the protein encoded by the gene, if the mass of the amino acid is 110 and the mass of the nucleotide is 300.
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.
The mass of mRNA that has copied a segment of DNA is 36,000 units, the mRNA is placed in the ribosome and represents 60% of it. Determine the mass of the protein encoded by the gene, if the mass of the amino acid is 110 and the mass of the
