Using the DNA nucleotide sequences for the wild-type and mutant genes in the following tables, determine the complementary mRNA sequence for the five portions of the Mc1r gene provided. (Note: You are only transcribing short portions of the DNA sequence for this protein. The actual gene contains 954 base pairs.) Part2: Using completed the mRNA sequence, determine the resulting amino acid sequence of the MC1R protein. (Note: You are translating only a portion of protein. The full protein is 317 amino acids long. The numbers above the columns in the tables indicate amino acid positions in the pr
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.
Part1: Using the DNA
Part2: Using completed the mRNA sequence, determine the resulting amino acid sequence of the MC1R protein. (Note: You are translating only a portion of protein. The full protein is 317 amino acids long. The numbers above the columns in the tables indicate amino acid positions in the protein sequence.) You may use the genetic code chart provided
