A) The scientist could search the human genome for genes that encode proteins that are identical to the protein encoded by the mouse gene. B) The scientist could place the normal human gene into normal mice and see if the resulting mice are viable. C) The scientist could place the normal human gene into mutant mice to see if heart muscle forms in the mouse. D) The scientist could place the mutant mouse gene into humans to see if humans develop without heart muscle.
