_________________ involves breeding mice that have had a specific gene removed from their genome. In contrast, _________________ involves inserting a new gene into an animal's genome.
A) Transgenics; biomutation
B) Gene Knockout; transgenics
C) Biomutation; transgenics
D) X-inactivation; biomutation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene knockout involves breeding mice that have had a specific gene removed from their genome, while transgenics involves inserting a new gene into an animal's genome. None of the other choices accurately describe the two processes. X-inactivation is a process that occurs naturally in female mammals to balance gene expression between their two X chromosomes and biomutation is not a commonly used term in genetics.
