Explanation / Answer

DNA microarray can be used to analyse tissue specific expression of thousands of gene using the fluorescent probe. The results can be obtained as tiny spots.

Keeping this information in mind we can interpret the results in the following manner,

cDNA expressed in the intestinal tissues are labelled with green fluorescent probe.

A GREEN dot at first row, second column represents GENE B expressed in the intestinal tissues.

cDNA expressed in the stomach tissues are labelled with red fluorescent probe.

A RED dot at second row, first column represents GENE A expressed in the intestinal tissues.

There are some gene namely p53 gene can be found expressing in all the tissue, so both the probe emit fluorescent. Red + Green light gives out yellow colour light. This is an indication that this particular cDNA is expressed in those two tissue.

A YELLOW dot at first row, third column can be represented as GENE C and the other YELLOW dot at third row, second column can be represented as GENE D.
