Gene targeting:
A) usually results in mice homozygous for the knock-out gene in every cell
B) is used to study orthologous genes
C) measures gene expression activity
D) is a rapid process
E) is a technique typically performed in humans

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene targeting is often used to study the function of specific genes by creating models, such as mice, with targeted mutations. This allows researchers to study the effects of these mutations and gain insights into the functions of orthologous genes, which are genes in different species that evolved from a common ancestral gene.
