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.
What amino acid sequence does this RNA sequence code for? ACU GAG AGC ACG?
Introduction
In reality, transcription and translation are the two processes that make up this procedure, which is known as protein synthesis. Transcription takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotic organisms. DNA serves as a template for the production of a messenger RNA(mRNA) molecule during transcription. After leaving the nucleus, the mRNA molecule travels to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation takes place. The genetic code contained in the mRNA is read during translation and utilized to create a polypeptide.
