Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the genes' expression is inhibited by hormone treatment, the level of fluorescence should be lower than the control sample (which is represented by the red spots on the microarray). Therefore, there should be no or very little fluorescence in the corresponding spots on the microarray.
