It is Possible to Rapidly Screen for Mutations in Regulatory

Question

It is possible to rapidly screen for mutations in regulatory genes using
A) gene fusions.
B) defective proteases.
C) microinjection.
D) Southern blotting.

Accepted Answer

Gene fusions allow for rapid screening of mutations in regulatory genes by combining the regulatory gene of interest with a reporter gene, allowing for easy visualization of changes in gene expression. Defective proteases, microinjection, and Southern blotting are not efficient methods for rapid screening of mutations in regulatory genes.
