Which of the following statements are correct? explain your answers.A. An individual ribosome can make only one type of protein.B. All mRNAs fold into particular three-dimensional structures that are required for their translation. C. the large and small subunits of an individual ribosome always stay together and never exchange partners.D. ribosomes are cytoplasmic organelles that are encapsulated by a single membrane.E. Because the two strands of DNA are complementary, the mRNA of a given gene can be synthesized using either strand as a template.F. An mRNA may contain the sequence ATTGACCCCGGTCAA.G. the amount of a protein present in a cell depends on its rate of synthesis, its catalytic activity, and its rate of degradation.
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.
