Which of the following could not be used to test whether expression of a particular gene is necessary for a particular biological function?
A) RNAi
B) Knockout technology
C) Antisense
D) Mutant tRNA
E) Transposon mutagenesis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mutant tRNA would not be a suitable tool for testing gene function because tRNA molecules are involved in translation and not directly in the regulation of gene expression or the function of a specific gene. The other options listed (RNAi, knockout technology, antisense, and transposon mutagenesis) are all commonly used techniques for studying gene function.
