Which process is used by researchers to inhibit translation of specific genes?
A) Antisense RNA
B) Targeted mutation
C) DNA microarrays
D) Homologous recombination
E) Transformation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antisense RNA is a process where synthetic RNA molecules complementary to the mRNA of a specific gene are introduced. These molecules bind to the mRNA and inhibit translation, ultimately reducing the expression of the gene. Targeted mutation, DNA microarrays, homologous recombination, and transformation do not necessarily involve inhibiting translation of specific genes.
