Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a comparative gene expression analysis using Cy3 (green) and Cy5 (red) labeling, if two samples contain equivalent amounts of mRNA for a particular gene, the spot on the array would appear yellow. This is because the equal amounts of green and red fluorescence would blend to produce yellow, indicating equal expression levels from both samples.
