When high levels of unfolded proteins are detected in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a eukaryotic cell responds by increasing the gene expression of chaperone proteins, which help proteins to fold correctly. BiP is a chaperone protein. You detect amounts of BiP MRNA and protein in the absence and presence of unfolded protein in the ER of a eukaryotic cell as shown in the figure below. a. Describe two specific biological processes that the cell could regulate in order to increase the amount of BiP protein. Briefly explain your answer using the information from figures A & B.

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.
