Using the data available Using the data available on Moodle describe the phenotype that you observe when each of these three genes is knocked down using RNAi. Remember to compare the worms on control RNAi plates with worms on each of the RNAi knockdown plates. In each case state how do these phenotypes relate to the function of the gene. describe the phenotype that you observe when each of these three genes is knocked down using RNAi.

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.
