Which approach could be used to investigate distinctions between a muscle cell and a bone cell?
A)Gene expression profiling
B)DNA variation screening
C)Microarray comparative genomic hybridization
D)Transcription-mediated amplification

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene expression profiling can be used to compare the levels of gene expression in muscle cells and bone cells. This can reveal the presence of distinctive sets of genes that are active in one cell type but not the other, providing insight into the functional differences between the two cell types. DNA variation screening, microarray comparative genomic hybridization, and transcription-mediated amplification are not as well suited for investigating distinctions between different cell types.
