Final answer:
Freeze-fracture replication is the electron microscope technique that involves striking a frozen specimen with a knife edge and creating cracks in the ice of the tissue block that spread and interact with tissue. The correct option is c.
Step-by-step explanation:
The technique that involves striking a frozen specimen with a knife edge and creating cracks in the ice of the tissue block that spread and interact with tissue is called freeze-fracture replication.
During freeze-fracture replication, the frozen specimen is fractured, and the fractured surface is exposed to a vacuum.
This technique allows for the visualization of internal structures and the study of membrane organization.
Some examples of freeze-fracture replication images include the detection of cell membrane proteins and the examination of cellular junctions. The correct option is c.
