Once transcribed, the length of the mRNA for gene X is usually 1000 nucleotides long in your favorite bacterial species. After mutagenizing the bacteria, you notice that the mRNA is 800 nucleotides long. Which of the following could be the mutated that would explain your observations? a mutation introducing a new rut site in gene X a mutation in the Shine-Dalgarno sequence a mutation in the polyA addition site a mutation in the operator
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.
