A) Positional cloning, mutagenesis, identification of mutants, verification of genetic basis.
B) Mutagenesis, positional cloning, identification of mutants, verification of genetic basis.
C) Mutagenesis, identification of mutants, verification of genetic basis, positional cloning.
D) Identification of mutants, positional cloning, mutagenesis, verification of genetic basis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order is: Mutagenesis to induce mutations, identification of mutants with the desired phenotype, verification of the genetic basis of the phenotype, and positional cloning to identify the specific gene responsible.
