Under physiological conditions, the protein hemerythrin exists as anoctamer of eight chains of the kind.(a) Name two symmetries possible for this molecule.(b) Which do you think is more likely? Explain.(c) For the more likely symmetry, what kinds of interactions (isologous,heterologous, or both) would you expect? Why?
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.
Under physiological conditions, the protein hemerythrin exists as an
octamer of eight chains of the kind.
(a) Name two symmetries possible for this molecule.
(b) Which do you think is more likely? Explain.
(c) For the more likely symmetry, what kinds of interactions (isologous,
heterologous, or both) would you expect? Why?
