How many copies of a protein can be produced from a single mRNA transcript? Many because copies of the protein are simultaneously produced by one ribosome as it reads the mRNA codons. Many because RNA transcripts are translated by multiple ribosomes that are bound simultaneously at the same site on the mRNA. One because each MRNA transcript can be translated only once then it is destroyed. Many because several ribosomes can bind and translate one MRNA transcript at the same time, following each other along the MRNA.
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.
