Which of the Following is NOT a Way to Determine

Question

Which of the following is NOT a way to determine the function of annotated genes?
A) looking for similar gene sequences of known function
B) examining the putative protein structure
C) using gene knockout experiments
D) finding a pseudogene for that gene

Accepted Answer

Determining the function of annotated genes involves comparing them to known sequences (A), analyzing the structure of the proteins they may encode (B), and observing the effects of knocking out the gene in an organism (C). Finding a pseudogene (D), which is a non-functional segment of DNA resembling a gene, does not directly help in determining the function of an annotated gene.
