Question

Which method would me most efficient to identify where a specific gene is being expressed within the cell?

a. immunofluorescence
b. immunoprecipitation
c. microarray
d. photolithography
e. FRAP

Answer 1

b. Immnofluorescence

Step-by-step explanation:

Immunofluorescence involves the reaction of a fluorescently labelled antibody to an expressed gene or protein making it specific. A microscope is used to locate the expressed gene via the fluorescent dye activated by light of a certain wavelength. It is usually done to analyze intact cells or tissue therefore it is easier to localize the gene expression.
