The codon UUU in an mRNA molecule which results in phenylalanine being inserted as the protein is made. Which will be a characteristic of this codon? a. The tRNA molecule that binds to the UUU codon must have an AAA anticodon. Nde ba e2? b. UUU could code for both phenylalanine and alanine during translation. c. The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase for phenylalanine binds only the UUU codon. d. UUU is probably only one of several codons that code for phenylalanine.
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.
