Genetic Techniques – Crosses
If you would like to contribute to this page, please include as much of the following as possible:
- Who first introduced (invented) this technique? (a bit of history about its discovery)
- What is crossing? How does it work? (the mechanism: such as RNAi to block RNA translation)
- Selfing (hermaphrodite
self-fertilization) is one form of crossing - Why is it used (when to use it to produce what consequences? to study what?)
- How is it done? (methodology)
- How much time does it take?
- Advantage or disadvantage to use such technique in research
- An example to illustrate such technique (movies, images and any other resources to accompany the explanation)
- More information
