Q. Both histone deacetylase (HDAC) and Xist would be on a list of genes involved in X chromosome inactivation. In which of the following ways would the histone deacetylase gene be similar to the Xist gene? A. They would both be transcribed. B. They would both be translated. C. They would both undergo intron splicing. D. They would both be transported to the cytoplasm after transcription.
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.
