Question

In transgenics, expression of a transgene in target tissue is determined by

• A. Transgene
• B. Promoter
• C. Reporter
• D. Enhancer

Answer 1

The correct option is C Reporter

Reporter: Reporter genes are part of the screening process which used to determine whether a particular DNA sequence has been successfully introduced into a cell, organ or tissue that is needed to be modified.

Transgene: A gene that is artificially introduced into the genome of another organism.

Promoter: In genetics, the promoter is a region of DNA that initiates transcription of a particular gene. It can be 100-1000 base pairs long.

Enhancer: In genetics, an enhancer is a short region of DNA that can be bounded by protein to increase the likelihood that transcription of a particular gene will occur.

So, the correct answer is 'Reporter'.
