What are modifier genes?
Modifier genes are genes that can influence the expression of other genes, either by enhancing or suppressing their effects. These genes can modify the phenotype resulting from a particular mutation or genetic variant. Modifier genes can play a role in determining the severity of certain genetic disorders or influencing the response to treatment.
Can sometimes influence expression of genes?
what can somtimes influence expression of genes
What are modifier?
It refers to genes that have small quantitative effects on the level of expression of another gene.
What is the external expression of genes?
genotype
Do proteins code for genes in the process of genetic expression?
Yes, proteins do not code for genes in the process of genetic expression. Genes code for proteins through the process of transcription and translation.
What is it when interacting genes results in the equal phenotype expression of all genes?
Polygenes .
Is the expression of sex-linked genes controlled by hormones?
Yes, the expression of sex-linked genes can be influenced by hormones. Hormones play a role in regulating gene expression by affecting the activity of specific genes in response to changes in the body's internal and external environment. Hormones such as testosterone and estrogen can impact the expression of genes located on sex chromosomes.
How can effects of genes be influenced by environment?
The effects of genes can be influenced by the environment through interactions that affect gene expression and phenotype. Factors such as nutrition, stress, exposure to toxins, and social conditions can modify how genes are activated or silenced, a phenomenon known as epigenetics. For instance, certain environmental conditions may trigger or inhibit the expression of specific genes, leading to variations in traits and behaviors among individuals with the same genetic makeup. This interplay highlights the complexity of biological development and the importance of considering both genetic and environmental factors in understanding health and behavior.
Is genetics DNA?
No, DNA is the substance from which genes are made. Genetics is the study of genes and their expression.
Genes at one locus that affect the expression of genes at a different locus are said to be?
epistatic
What can sometimes influence expression of genes?
Several factors determine the final outcome of gene expression. They include the cell's environment, the presence of other cells, and the timing of gene expression. hope this helped! -Steph
Can prokaryotic Cells control the expression of their genes?
Yes.
