Question

inactivate a gene by altering the DNA encoding it?

Answer 1

Answer:

Gene Inactivation Using RNAi

Targeted gene inactivation in mice is a common and powerful technique that researchers use to determine the functional significance of genes. RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a powerful technique for generating loss-of-function phenotypes by downregulating the expression of specific genes in plants and animals.

Answer 2

Answer:

inactivating a gene simply means .. preventing it from being expressed
