A thymine is changed to an adenine in one DNA codon which causes a particular disorder. Which statement explains how the change in the DNA codon leads to this disorder? * O The frameshift mutation stops the production of a protein in the organism. O The substitution causes a different protein to be produced in the organism. The insertion mutation caused the production of extra protein inhe organism. The deletion mutation prevents the production of an important protein in the organism. Which type of mutations are the least harmful to an organism? * O Duplication O Substitution Insertion
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.
