What would happen to an mRNA produced from a gene that contained a mutation in the 3'UTR region that deleted a cis-element required for poly A tailing? Question 20 options: The mRNA would be exported to the cytoplasm but would not be translated very efficiently The mRNA would never be exported to the cytoplasm The mRNA would not be spliced or exported to the cytoplasm The mRNA would be translated into a mutant protein
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.
