Recombinant DNA technology would be least applicable to which approach?
A) Analysis of traits determined by multiple genes
B) Overexpressing a particular gene
C) Silencing a particular gene
D) Knocking out a particular gene
E) Targeting a protein to the nucleus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recombinant DNA technology involves manipulating DNA at the molecular level to add, delete or modify genes. It is most useful when trying to manipulate or express a single gene. Analysis of traits determined by multiple genes involves more complex genetic interactions and would not be easily addressed using recombinant DNA technology.
