This activity uses the metaphor of decoding a secret message for the Protein Synthesis. PARTIALLY SOLVED MESSAGE GIVEN: DNA code message --> GAA TAG AAA CITT ACT TAG AGC ATT CCT GCC CTT CGA TGC ATC SOLUTION (steps 1-4) 1. MRNA (built to match the DNA message, letter for letter- -→ CUU AUC UUU GAA UGA AUc UCG ... ... 2. TRNA (determined by matching letters (bases) with those in MRNA)-------→ GAA UAG AAA CUU ACU UAG 3. Amino acids carried by each tRNA (according to dictionary, below)------> L IP G I e h 4. Symbols of amino acids:--→ L I F E - I
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.
