Here is the sequence of a portion of a bacterial gene. The template strand is on the bottom: 5’-ATGCTGCGTGCATGGGATATAGGTAGCACACGTCC-3’ 3’-TACGACGCACGTACCC TATATCC ATCGTGTGCAGG-5’ Assuming that transcription starts with the first C in the template strand, and continues to the end, what would be the sequence of the mRNA derived from this fragment? Q) Would there be an effect on translation of changing the fourthT in the template strand to a C? If so, what effect?
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.
