What is the effect of the insertion of a nucleotide in the 4th codon of the DNA sequence below? (Hint: write out and translate the original mRNA underneath the template DNA. Then, insert a nucleotide into the 4th codon and retranslate the sequence.) Template: 3'-TAC AAA CTA GTG AAT AGA TTT CCA CGT ACT GGG-5"
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.
