Concept explainers

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.

Chapter 21.2, Problem 3CC

MAKE CONNECTIONS Ø The ENCODE pilot project found that at least 75% of the genome is transcribed into RNAs, far more than could be accounted for by proteiri-coding genes. Review Concepts 17.3 and 18.3 and suggest some roles that these RNAs might play.
