Concept explainers

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 anoth…

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.

Define the various forms of rRNA found in bacteria ?

Please explain in detail a chemical reaction between rRNA and another biomolecule

The two-dimensional structures of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA are shown in the diagrams. Which of the following might be one contributing factor to the function of rRNA based on comparisons between the structures of the three molecules? A - rRNA molecules are sufficiently flexible because they contain more RNA loops. B - rRNA molecules are more reactive because they have longer chains of unmatched bases. C - rRNA molecules are sufficiently stable because the sequence of bases allows for more internal hydrogen bonds. D - rRNA molecules are more rigid because they have a more regular sequence of bases than other RNA molecules.
