Concept explainers

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 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.

Question


Describe in details all the differences between The Trp Operon and the Lac Operon. Why one is always off while the other is always ON? Can you find examples for other catabolic and anabolic pathways that could behave in the same way?
