Practice question
Question
Recombinant DNA technology has made it possible to start with a particular gene, make mutations in it, and then create mutant cells or organisms, a process commonly referred to as :
Explanation
Reverse genetics starts from a known gene sequence, introduces targeted mutations in vitro, then generates mutant organisms to infer gene function from phenotype. This contrasts forward genetics where phenotype screening precedes gene identification.
