Which of the following techniques is not appropriate if you want to examine the transcriptome of a specific tissue?
(a) in situ hybridization
(b) production of a cDNA library
(c) RNA-Seq
(d) microarray analysis
(a) Although in situ hybridization can tell you a great deal about the expression patterns of a particular gene, this technique is not easily adapted to simultaneously monitor the thousands of genes expressed in a particular tissue.

Detergents are best able to dissolve oil from fabric or dishes during washing because
A) the positively charged end is associated with a sphere of hydration, while the negatively charged end interacts with the oil droplet. B) the negatively charged end is associated with a sphere of hydration, while the positively charged end interacts with the oil droplet. C) the nonpolar end is associated with a sphere of hydration, while the charged end interacts with the oil droplet. D) the charged end is associated with a sphere of hydration, while the nonpolar end interacts with the oil droplet. E) because detergents are nonpolar, they increase the size of the oil droplet, allowing the water to be more effective at removing the oil.
