1.	In Reverse-genetics analysis of gene function– Even though a particular gene may be _____ ortholog of a gene of known function in another organism, that gene may be acquired by a _____ function.(a) a highly predicted, similar(b) a highly predicted, same(c) a highly predicted, novel(d) less predicted, novelThe question was asked during an interview.My question is taken from Prediction of Gene Function Based on a Composite Analysis topic in section Genome Analysis of Bioinformatics
Answer» Right answer is (c) a highly predicted, novel The best I can explain: For example, a defect in a plant or animal gene that is a homolog of a yeast gene may have an effect on a developmental PROCESS or other biologically unique FUNCTION of multicellular organisms. Information on knockout MUTANTS in model organisms is available through the GENOME WEB sites.
