A researcher was studying a new transcription regulator called UOT and wanted to study its localization by fusing GFP to UOT. When GFP:UOT was expressed in cultured cells, the researcher noticed that the GFP signal was in the nucleus for only some of the cells. Which of the following statements MOST likely explains these results? O UOT has a mutated nuclear localization signal. O UOT localizes to the nucleus when specific signals are in the cytosol. UOT localizes to the nucleus through the endoplasmic reticulum. O UOT only has a nuclear export signal.

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.
