Figure 15.1
In the microarray shown in Figure 15.1, if you were searching for genes whose expression was inhibited by hormone treatment, you would search for sequences spotted on the array that showed ________ fluorescence.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the genes' expression is inhibited by hormone treatment, then it means that their expression would be lower in the hormone-treated sample compared to the control sample. This would result in no or lower fluorescence in the spots corresponding to those inhibited genes. Therefore, the answer is A) no fluorescence.
