What are some of the ways that organisms use to ensure the fidelity of DNA replication? Why is it important that the fidelity of DNA replication is an evolutionary balance between faithful replication and the existence of some errors? Escherichia coli and other bacteria methylate adenines on the original strand to distinguish the original strand from the newly replicated strand of DNA. Why is this distinction important?
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.
