Which of the following would you expect to happen if there were a mutation in the Iron Response Element (IRE) that prevented IRE-binding proteins from binding to the IRE. The transferrin mRNA will be degraded, regardless of iron concentration The transferrin mRNA will not be degraded, regardless of iron concentration The transferrin mRNA will only be degraded with low iron concentration The transferrin mRNA will only be degraded with high iron concentration
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.
