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 anoth…

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.

Below is a model of a signal transduction pathway that results in the transcribing of mRNA: Receptor protein Transcription factor Phosphorylation cascade DNA mRNA What is the best description of what would happen if the phosphorylation cascade resulted in a phosphate being attached to the transcription factor? O mRN would not stop being transcribed from the DNA. O The phosphorylation cascade would continue to release excess phosphates. O mRNA would stop being translated from the DNA. O Receptor proteins would not bind to the signaling hormone.

Briefly describe the significance of regulatory factors in transcription process. Why the promoter is called an essential regulatory element.

Examine Figure 17.7. What would be the effect on transcription if a mutation occurred in the gene that encodes GAL3, so that no functional GAL3 was produced?
