Scientists study animal models in order to reveal the functions of human genes. This is an example of:
A) comparative genomics
B) DNA cloning
C) Western blotting
D) RNAi
E) gene targeting

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Comparative genomics involves studying the similarities and differences in the genomes of different organisms to understand the function and evolution of genes and genomes. In this context, using animal models to reveal the functions of human genes falls under comparative genomics, as it compares genetic information across species to gain insights into gene function in humans.
