Identify which eukaryotic level of gene regulation is most applicable in the given examples. (Pre-transcriptional control, Transcriptional control, Translational control, Post-translational control) The glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase is activated by dephosphorylation and inactivated by phosphorylation. In the fruit fly, genes for rRNA can be replicated more or less often compared to the rest of the chromatin depending on the needs of the cell. In the human beta-globin, two introns are spliced out in order to produce the mature mRNA. DNA methylation can change the degree of condensation of the chromatin.
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.
