The dairy industry faces a unique challenge to constantly improve functionality of the dairy cow to meet the needs of future production and reproduction demands. Today’s classification program focuses on a comprehensive set of descriptive traits that describe the animal’s strengths and weaknesses and that collectively depict overall functionality. Since conformation traits are heritable and have been shown to be linked with functionality, selection for conformational traits is an effective tool to facilitate genetic improvement in functionality [11] .
<span>The answer is
transcription. It is mediated by RNA polymerase enzyme
that reads the DNA template and makes an RNA
strand that is antiparallel and composed of nucleotides complementary to the DNA strand. This process is the first step of
gene expression. </span>
