You discover a new antibiotic that inhibits translation. Upon futher investigation, you find that the antibiotic binds to the A site of the ribosome. What process of translation will most likely be inhibited? Termination Elongation Initiation Assembly
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.

Assembly
Introduction :-
Elongation is the second phase of protein synthesis (translation), during which the ribosome moves along the mRNA molecule in a 5' to 3' direction, adding one amino acid at a time to the growing polypeptide chain
