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.

(Note: Transcription starts at Transcription Start Site (TSS).) TSS -3' -5' +1 (i) Name the specific regions that can be recognized by sigma factor and indicate the locations in the diagram above. (ii) How does Sigma factor trigger the initiation of transcription?Shown here is a theoretical viral mRNA sequence 5′-AUGCAUACCUAUGAGACCCUUGGA-3′ (a) Assuming that it could arise from overlapping genes, how many different polypeptide sequences can be produced? Using the chart in Figure 12–7, what are the sequences? (b) A base-substitution mutation that altered the sequence in part (a) eliminated the synthesis of all but one polypeptide. The altered sequence is shown below. Use Figure 12–7 to determine why it was altered. 5′-AUGCAUACCUAUGUGACCCUUGGA-3′Searching the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome, researchers found approximately 4,000 DNA sites with a sequence which could potentially bind the yeast transcription factor GAL4. GAL4 activates the transcription of galactose genes. Yet there are only 10 GAL4-binding sites which control the genes necessary for galactose metabolism. The GAL4 binding sequence is CGGAT#AGAAGC*GCCG, where # is T, C or G, and * is C or T. In one chromatin immunoprecipitation experiment (ChIP), yeast growing on galactose were lysed, and subjected to cross-linking reagents which cross-linked transcription factors and activators to DNA. Next the DNA was sheared into small fragments, and antibodies to GAL4 were added. These antibodies coprecipitated the GAL4 and the DNA it was cross-linked to. The cross-linking was then chemically reversed, and the DNA was isolated, cloned into a library of plasmids and sequenced. Results showed that only 10 different DNA sequences had GAL4 bound. Since the…

All rights reserved.The entire genome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiaehas been sequenced. This sequencing has led to the identification of all the open reading frames (ORFs, gene-sizesequences with appropriate translational initiation andtermination signals) in the genome. Some of these ORFsare previously known genes with established functions;however, the remainder are unassigned reading frames(URFs). To deduce the possible functions of the URFs,they are being systematically, one at a time, convertedinto null alleles by in vitro knockout techniques. The results are as follows:15 percent are lethal when knocked out.25 percent show some mutant phenotype (alteredmorphology, altered nutrition, and so forth).60 percent show no detectable mutant phenotype at alland resemble wild type.Explain the possible molecular-genetic basis of thesethree mutant categories, inventing examples wherepossible.Template strand of DNA is: 3’ TACATAACCGGGCCCATATCGGCCATTTGC5’. 2a).
