The Following Microarray Data Are Shown for Four Human Genes

question 8

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.
