The information in DNA is used by cells to produce proteins that perform various functions in cells. The process of gene expression involves the transcription of a mRNA molecule that is translated
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.
The information in DNA is used by cells to produce proteins that perform various functions in cells. The process of gene expression involves the transcription of a mRNA molecule that is translated by ribosomes into a strand of amino acids.
1. Use your DNA strand to construct a part of a messenger RNA molecule.
DNA: A G T A C C G G G C A A A C T G C A T T G T G
mRNA:
2. find it by searching the internet for the "Genetic Code Chart" to determine the sequence of amino acids in your polypeptide chain. Remember to START translation at the start codon by adding a Methionine and STOP translating when you reach a stop codon.
