D)manipulate specific genes by inserting artificial hormones into mice DNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Knockout studies manipulate specific genes by "removing" them from DNA in mice in order to observe the effects on behavior. It is used to understand the function of genes and their impact on various aspects of development, physiology, and behavior in mice. Mating behaviors of mice may be studied using other methods, and artificial hormones are not typically used in knockout studies. While sequencing of DNA may be involved in generating knockout mice, it is not the primary focus.
