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.
You need to determine if a specific mRNA is modified. What method will you choose to determine this and why?
Nucleic acid is serving as primary information carrying molecule in cells. There are two types of nucleic acid ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Blotting is a technique to detect the expression level of biomolecules.
