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.
3. The sequence of bases on an mRNA strand is AAUCGACGCCCGACUAGC. List the codons present in this sequence.
4. List the tRNA anticodons that would pair with the codons present in the above sequence of mRNA.
5. Determine the translated amino acid sequence obtained from the mRNA strand given in question 3. You may use the genetic code table to translate.
6. A tRNA anticodon has the base sequence CCG. Identify the DNA base sequence that was used to produce the codon that will bind it to this anticodon.
7. Explain how you would determine whether a single chain of
8. Describe all the elements required to carry out the process of translation.
9. Describe the importance of DNA in determining the structure of a particular protein.
