Which of the following can not be used to mediate the fusion of plasma membranes of two different cells?(a) electric shock(b) inactivated viruses(c) Polyethylene glycol(d) emulsifierThis question was posed to me in an interview for job.This is a very interesting question from Cellular Membranes in division Cellular Membranes of Cell Biology

Answer»

The correct choice is (d) emulsifier

For EXPLANATION: There are various techniques that can be used to fuse two different CELLS and all of these are BASICALLY used to either modify the surface of plasma membrane or attach to it (inactivated viruses). EMULSIFIERS however do NEITHER and are hence not used in cell fusion.
