Q

How do we get information about the function of a
gene from its phenotype?

A
  • By studying organisms that are naturally mutant for a particular gene, we can work out what that gene might do
  • Where no natural mutants exist we can make our own
  • By studying both these types of mutants we can learn how particular mutations lead to phenotypic changes
