onsider Figure 3, which shows some features of a eukaryotic gene. A, B, C are exons while 1, 2 are introns. E marks an enhancer. The 5’ UTR and 3’ UTR are also marked. Which one of the following features would you expect to NOT be included in the primary RNA (before any processing has occurred) that results from transcription of this gene? Region marked E Region marked 5’ UTR Regions marked A, B and C Regions marked 1 and 2
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.
Consider Figure 3, which shows some features of a eukaryotic gene. A, B, C are exons while 1, 2 are introns. E marks an enhancer. The 5’ UTR and 3’ UTR are also marked. Which one of the following features would you expect to NOT be included in the primary RNA (before any processing has occurred) that results from transcription of this gene?
- Region marked E
- Region marked 5’ UTR
- Regions marked A, B and C
- Regions marked 1 and 2
