What is the difference between a structural gene and a regulator gene? a. Structural genes are transcribed into mRNA, but regulator genes aren’t. b. Structural genes have complex structures; regulator genes have simple structures. c. Structural genes encode proteins that function in the structure of the cell; regulator genes carry out metabolic reactions. d. Structural genes encode proteins; regulator genes control the transcription of structural genes.
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.
