Which of the following best explains the leading daughter DNA strand? The leading strand is synthesized by the enzyme primase. It is polymerized discontinuously by DNA polymerase from 5' - 3' direction which leaves gaps knowns as Okazaki fragments. The gaps within the leading strand are sealed by DNA ligase. It is polymerized continuously by DNA polymerase from 5' - 3' direction.
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.
