Which of these statements best describes the major difference between enhancers and promoter proximal elements (PPES)? Enhancers activate transcription; PPES inhibit transcription Enhancers are located far away from the core promoter; PPES are close to the core promoter Enhancers are long regions of DNA; PPES are short RNA molecules Enhancers are transcription factors; PPES are DNA sequences
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.
