Ans:A. Multiple Genes
Method shown in the photograph above is Microarray which is used for study of multiple genes.
Microarray
- A microarray is a multiplex lab-on-a-chip.
- It is a 2D array on a solid substrate (usually a glass slide or silicon thin-film cell) that assays large amounts of biological material using high-throughput screening miniaturized, multiplexed and parallel processing and detection methods.
- Types of microarrays include:
- DNA microarrays- used to measure the expression levels of large numbers of genes simultaneously or to genotype multiple regions of a genome.
- By identifying which genes in the cancer cells are working abnormally, doctors can better diagnose and treat cancer
- Protein microarrays
- Peptide microarrays,
- Tissue microarrays,
- Cellular microarrays,
- Antibody microarrays
- Carbohydrate arrays,etc
- DNA microarrays- used to measure the expression levels of large numbers of genes simultaneously or to genotype multiple regions of a genome.
