- Open Reading Frame
- Operon
- Genetic code
- Cis trans system
Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
An open reading frame (ORF) is a DNA sequence that starts with a start codon, continues uninterrupted by stop codons, and ends with a stop codon, ultimately coding for a protein.
