If one wished to test the hypothesis that humans and chimps differ due to differences in the expression of a large set of shared genes,the technique to use would be _____.
A)Southern blotting
B)PCR
C)DNA sequencing
D)protein-protein interaction assays
E)DNA microarray analysis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA microarray analysis is the technique used to compare the expression of a large set of shared genes between two species (in this case, humans and chimps) and identify the differences in their expression patterns. This technique allows us to simultaneously test the expression of thousands of genes and compare their expression levels between different samples, making it an efficient and reliable method for this type of hypothesis testing.
