You come across four polynucleotide strands. The first is an original RNA strand that codes for a protein; the others are similar to the original RNA strand, except that each displays a point mutation. The point mutations are shown in red. 5' - AUG-UGC-AUU-CCU-GCA-UAA - 3' 5 - AUG-UGA-AUU-CCU-GCA-UAA - 3' 5' - AUG-UGC-AUU-CCC-GCA-UAA - 3' 5' - AUG-UGC-GUU-CCU-GCA-UAA - 3' Original RNA: Mutant RNA 1: Mutant RNA 2: Mutant RNA 3: 1. Based on how they will affect the protein product, identify the type of point mutation (missense, nonsense, silent, or frameshift) present in the Mutants 1, 2, and 3. 2. State which of the point mutations (for the three specific mutant RNAS in this question) would have the greatest impact on the protein produced, and explain/justify your choice.

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.
