You have discovered a gene that appears to be crucial to the development of the nervous system in C.elegans.Which of the following techniques would allow you to investigate the transcriptional regulation and expression of this gene in vivo?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Replacing one copy of the gene with a reporter gene, such as GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) or lacZ, allows for the visualization of where and when the gene is expressed in the organism. This technique is particularly useful for studying gene expression in vivo because it enables researchers to observe the spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression in the context of the living organism.
