Which of the following mutations will most likely NOT change the polypeptide sequence encoded by the DNA? 1 insertion 1 base pair change of the third nucleotide of the codon 1 base pair change of the first nucleotide of the codon 1 base pair change of the second nucleotide of the codon
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.

A mutation is a change in the genetic material (DNA) of an organism. Mutations can occur spontaneously or be induced by exposure to mutagens such as radiation or certain chemicals. They can result in changes to the sequence of nucleotides in DNA, potentially altering the genetic information that is passed from one generation to the next.
