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.

Step 1

DNA is the genetic material in most living organisms. It is the information hub of the cell that contains instructions for the synthesis of proteins. The central dogma of molecular biology is that DNA undergoes replication to create copies of itself, undergoes transcription to create expressible mRNA and this mRNA undergoes translation so that protein can be formed from the information carried in mRNA.
