Question:
Which one of the following techniques/tools is NOT used for inserting a foreign gene into a cell?
Which one of the following techniques/tools is NOT used for inserting a foreign gene into a cell?
Show Hint
Gene insertion tools physically deliver DNA, while microarrays only measure gene expression.
Updated On: Jan 2, 2026
- DNA microarray
- Electroporation
- Gene gun
- Microinjection
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
DNA microarray is used for gene expression analysis, not for gene insertion.
Electroporation, gene gun, and microinjection are all established methods to introduce foreign DNA into cells.
