Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reverse genetics starts with a known DNA sequence, mRNA, or protein and can be performed through random mutagenesis, targeted mutagenesis, or by phenocopying. Additionally, statement A is incorrect as reverse genetics analysis does not necessarily start with an altered phenotype in an organism. Statement B is also not entirely accurate, as while starting with a known DNA sequence, mRNA, or protein is one approach, it is not the only one. Therefore, the best choice is option E as it accurately describes the process of reverse genetics.
