You have obtained a sample of DNA, and you transcribe MRNA from this purify it. You then separate the two strands of the DNA and analyze the base com each strand and of the mRNA. You obtain the data shown in the table below. Which DNA strand is the g strand? A G C DNA Strand #1 19.1 26.0 31 23.9
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.
