Question

Which statement best described why gene chips are so valuable? Gene chips allowed scientists to evaluate multiple genes at one time; they could even look at an entire genome. Scientists were able to use gene chips to store the information from their research studies. Scientists discovered that genes are made of smaller subunits called gene chips. The discovery of gene chips lead to the micro processing power that enabled scientists to evaluate large amounts of data.

Answer 1

an increase, or the act of becoming larger

an increase in profit, price, or value

Answer 2

An increase, or the act of becoming larger is the correct answer.

A microarray is a laboratory tool used to detect the expression of thousands of genes at the same time. DNA microarrays are microscope slides that are printed with thousands of tiny spots in defined positions, with each spot containing a known DNA sequence or gene. Often, these slides are referred to as gene chips or DNA chips.
