Linking an ORF with a Specific Function is an Example

Question

Linking an ORF with a specific function is an example of gene
A) annotation.
B) assembly.
C) codon bias.
D) expression.

Accepted Answer

Gene annotation is the process of identifying the location and function of genes in a genome. This can involve linking an open reading frame (ORF) with a specific function, which is the case described in the question. Assembly refers to the process of putting together the sequencing reads to reconstruct the genome. Codon bias refers to non-random usage of synonymous codons, and expression refers to the process of transcribing and translating genes into functional proteins. Neither of these options necessarily involves linking an ORF with a specific function.
