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.
Two examples utilize RNA reverse transcription in their biology, what are they?
Reverse transcription is the exact opposite of the transcription. It involves the synthesis of the DNA strand from the template RNA strand with the help of an enzyme reverse transcriptase. Reverse transcriptase is used in the health sector for the development of antiviral drugs, it is also used in the development of cDNA libraries.
