Question

The main purpose of using reporter genes in transgenic animals is to:

• A. Track gene expression
• B. Increase growth rate
• C. Enhance disease resistance
• D. Improve reproductive capacity

Hint:

Reporter genes are useful for visualizing gene expression and studying gene activity in living organisms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Reporter genes are used in transgenic animals to track gene expression. By linking a reporter gene (such as GFP) to a gene of interest, researchers can visualize and measure when and where the gene is being expressed.
