Which of the following statements about the DNA in one of your brain cells is true? (A) Most of the DNA codes for protein. (B) The majority of genes are likely to be transcribed. (C) It is the same as the DNA in one of your liver cells. (D) Each gene lies immediately adjacent to an enhancer.
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.
