RNAi is a mechanism for regulating gene expression. It utilizes small microRNAs (miRNAs) transcribed in the genome of a particular organism. miRNAs can do which of the following? cause the degredation of mRNAs from particular genes directly block the reading of mRNA codons by tRNA anticodons alter the binding of tRNA to the ribosome alter the binding of repressor protein to the operator of prokaryotic genes
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.
