You are studying potential functions of the three proteins shown at the top of the display screens. You have a cell line in which are able to turn transcription (DNA➜mRNA) on and off, then follow the fate of the gene products. You turn on transcription of all three genes for 30 minutes, then stop it. On average, it takes one hour from the beginning of transcription for the resulting protein to be fully processed in the Golgi apparatus. On the graphs below, show the relative levels of red, blue and green fluorescence you expect to see in the six cellular locations indicated. Show the expectations at the point you turn off transcription in the top graph, one hour later in the middle graph and five hours after on the bottom. Time transcription is stopped Percent of total fluorescence 100 50 O eus ome
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.
