Solution
a
Mutagenesis: Random mutations are introduced into the organism's genome using chemical, physical, or biological agents
b
Screening: Organisms are screened for a particular phenotype or trait of interest, which may be a visible characteristic, biochemical alteration, or change in growth pattern
c
Identification: The genes responsible for the observed phenotype are identified through various genetic techniques, such as sequencing or complementation testing
Key Concept
Random mutagenesis genetic screen
Explanation
This technique involves creating mutations randomly throughout the genome and then identifying the mutations that cause a specific phenotype
