Hello, everyone. You really have a question telling us the process of identifying genes in a genome is termed blank. We have a genome sequencing genome sequencing is the procedure used to a certain the nucleotide sequence of a living organisms, whole genome. So A is incorrect. Be annotation. Annotation is the process of identifying genes in a genome. So B is correct. But let's take a look at our other options. We have C gene editing. This entails making precise modifications to a jeans D N A sequence. So C is incorrect and we have D bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is the analysis of biological data using computational tools and techniques. So D is incorrect. So our answer here is B annotation. Thank you for watching. Bye.
