Last year's Question of the day (06-Jul-11)
In biology and especially genetics, a mutant is an individual, organism, or new genetic character, arising or resulting from an instance of mutation, which is a base-pair sequence change within the DNA of a gene or chromosome of an organism resulting in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the wild type. The natural occurrence of genetic mutations is integral to the process of evolution. The study of mutants is an integral part of biology- by understanding the effect that a mutation in a gene has, it is possible to establish the normal function of that gene. In some organisms, mutants can be created by gene targeting to assess the function of any given gene. This experimental approach is called reverse genetics. For example, a collection of knockout moss mutants can be used to identify genes with so far unknown functions.

According to the passage, why is genetic mutation a necessary aberration?
OPTIONS
 
 1)Because a base-pair sequence change within the DNA of a gene is a phenomenon worth cataloguing by genealogists. 
 2)Because the chromosome of an organism undergoes mutation only when it is exposed to an external gene target.
 3)Because an experimental approach for gene targeting can lead to introduction of mutant species into the gene pool.
 4)Because one can decipher the actual function of a gene by studying the effect that a mutation might have on it.
 5)Because so far only knockout mass mutants have been successfully used to identify genes with unknown functions.
