Which of the following statements correctly describes p53? Which of the following statements correctly describes p53? A) It is a membrane receptor that binds to growth factors such as EGF. B) p53 binds to pre-replication complexes promoting the transition from G1 to S phase. C) p53 activates cyclin-CDK complexes. D) Activation of p53 leads to inhibition of the cyclin-CDK complexes. E) Cell division stops until p53 binds to DNA and repairs the damage.
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.
