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.

F)
You also study the expression of different mutants for this gene.
Mutant B has a 2 G/C pairs inserted between position 19 and 20 (position denoted by the ^ in the
sequence above).
For mutant B answer the following:
Does this mutation change the sequence of the protein produced? Why or why not?
If it does change the sequence of protein be sure to write out the new sequence.
If it does not change the protein sequence, what effect (if any) would you expect it
to have on expression of the gene?
