Understanding why these receptors are present when they are not supposed to be is important in finding new treatments for Cushing's syndrome. When the sequences for the promoters for the receptor genes were analyzed there was no common sequences found. This led to the theory that the loss of methylation of cytosine in the promoters of these genes was leading to their inappropriate expression. How could the loss of cytosine methylation lead to overexpression of the receptor genes? O a. Increased histone acetyltransferase activity O b. Decreased histone deacetylase activity Oc Decreased histone acetyltransferase activity O d. Increased histone deacetylase activity

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.
