Which of the following statements about gene expression is false?a) More than one RNA polymerase can be transcribing a specific gene at a given time.b) More than one ribosome can be translating a specific transcript at a given time.c) Translation begins at a site called a promoter.d) Transcription stops at a site called a terminator.e) Some amino acids are coded for by more than one 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.
