Which of the following statements most accurately describes the action of the enzyme RNA polymerase?Select one 1.) RNA polymerase will transcribe only the exons by skipping over the introns within a eukaryotic gene sequence 2.) RNA polymerase will transcribe both DNA strands, moving in the 3' to 5' direction for one strand and 5' to 3' on the other 3.) RNA polymerase will transcribe both DNA strands, but only one RNA molecule will be used during translation 4.)None of the statements accurately describe the function of RNA polymerase
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.
