Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To study the influence of a single gene on behavior, researchers use knockout mice by rendering a mouse gene inactive or disrupted. Inbreeding refers to the process of mating genetically related animals to maintain specific genetic traits, while outbreeding is the opposite, which involves mating genetically unrelated animals. A knockin mouse is a genetically modified mouse with a gene inserted to replace a specific endogenous gene.
