In mice you place are protein under an inducible promoter and you insert the gene under study in the loxP flanking region between opposite segments. If this tissue is induced which of the following will you see?

In mice you place are protein under an inducible promoter and you insert the gene under study in the loxP flanking region between opposite segments. If this tissue is induced which of the following will you see? Correct Answer The gene under study will be deleted from specific induced cell

This method is used to selectively delete some genes from some tissues in vivo. In this case the Cre gene is activated when an induction signal is provided and the Cre protein so formed acts as a trans factor on LoxP sequence to remove the flanking gene of interest.
