Reverse genetics means
-
- Finding the function of a ORF
- Finding the gene responsible for a trait
- RNA dependent DNA synthesis
- 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.
