The word, used for the small solid supports onto which are spotted hundreds of thousands of tiny drops of DNA that can be used to screen gene expression, is

  • A.southern blot
  • B.cloning library
  • C.DNA microarrays
  • D.northern blot

Answer: C

Correct answer: DNA microarrays

A microarray carries thousands of DNA spots on a slide, and labelled sample nucleic acid hybridises to whichever spots match it. The pattern of binding shows which genes are being expressed, so the transcription of a whole genome can be surveyed in one experiment.
