What would be the direct consequence to a cell of loss-of-function of Elongation Factor-Tu (EF-Tu)? You may select multiple answers. a. tRNAs would fail to exit the E site after giving up their amino acid. b. The error rate of translation would increase. c. The ribosome would frequently fail to identify the correct start codon and initiation of translation would become less efficient. d. There would be no pause between the entry of a tRNA into the A site and peptidyl transfer.
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.
