Two different types of gene regulatory elements are DNA sequence and protein-based. Which of the following describes them, respectively? a. one blocks translation, the other blocks transcription b. The first is an aporepressor, the second is a promoter c. The first is an enhancer, the second is a repressor d. The first is a activator, the second is a an attenuator e. one is an activist, the other is a protestor
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.
