C) Antibody microinjection
D) Use of siRNA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homologous recombination is a technique used to inactivate a gene by introducing a mutation or deletion into the specific DNA sequence of the gene, effectively altering or "knocking out" the gene's function. This method relies on the cell's natural DNA repair mechanisms to incorporate the changes, allowing for precise editing of the genome.
