Gene expression can be inhibited by
A) antisense RNA.
B) knockout genes.
C) DNA microarrays.
D) microRNA.
E) a, b, and d

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antisense RNA can bind to mRNA and prevent it from being translated into protein, leading to inhibition of gene expression. Knockout genes involve removing or disabling a specific gene, thereby preventing its expression. MicroRNA can also bind to mRNA and inhibit its translation. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are all correct and the best choice is E, which includes all three options. DNA microarrays, on the other hand, are tools used to study gene expression, and do not directly inhibit gene expression.
