question 38

Multiple Choice

The following microarray data are shown for four human genes.Two samples were hybridized to the microarray in this experiment.One sample was cDNA generated from mRNA of a tissue culture cell line that was originally derived from a B-cell leukemia.The other sample was cDNA generated from normal, mature neural tissue. - Vertical stripes mean hybridization to cancerous B-cell cDNA only.
- Horizontal stripes mean hybridization to normal neural cell cDNA only.
- Completely filled in means hybridization to both cDNA types.
- Blank means hybridization to neither cell's cDNA. One spot on the microarray contains sequences unique to a gene for an RNA polymerase subunit.One spot contains sequences unique to the skeletal muscle myosin gene.Which spot would be expected to contain the RNA polymerase gene sequences?

• A)Spot 1
• B)Spot 2
• C)Spot 3
• D)Spot 4
• E)None of the spots
