  1. Reverse genetics means
    1. Finding the function of a ORF
    2. Finding the gene responsible for a trait
    3. RNA dependent DNA synthesis
    4. Converting somatic cell to a germ cell
Correct Option: A

Reverse genetics is an approach to discover the function of a gene by analyzing the phenotypic effects of specific gene sequences obtained by DNA sequencing. This investigative process proceeds in the opposite direction of so-called forward genetic screens ofclassical genetics. Simply put, while forward genetics seeks to find the genetic basis of a phenotype or trait, reverse genetics seeks to find what phenotypes arise as a result of particular genetic sequences.
