If a geneticist uses the blind approach for sequencing the whole genome of an organism, followed by assignment of functions to different segment, the methodology adopted by him is called as:

  1. A
    Sequence annotation
  2. B
    Gene mapping
  3. C
    Expressed sequence tags
  4. D
    Bioinformatics

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The Human Genome Project used two main approaches:Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs): Identifying only the regions that are expressed as RNA.Sequence Annotation: The "blind approach" of sequencing the whole genome (both coding and non-coding) and then assigning functional significance to the sequences.
