What will be the flower structure of a plant in which expression of the following genes is inhibited in the specified whorls? a. Expression of class B genes is inhibited in the second whorl, but not in the third whorl. b. Expression of class C genes is inhibited in the third whorl, but not in the fourth whorl. c. Expression of class A genes is inhibited in the first whorl, but not in the second whorl. d. Expression of class A genes is inhibited in the second whorl, but not in the first whorl.
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 will be the flower structure of a plant in which expression of the
following genes is inhibited in the specified whorls?
a. Expression of class B genes is inhibited in the second whorl, but not in
the third whorl.
b. Expression of class C genes is inhibited in the third whorl, but not in the
fourth whorl.
c. Expression of class A genes is inhibited in the first whorl, but not in the
second whorl.
d. Expression of class A genes is inhibited in the second whorl, but not in
the first whorl.
