Question

Several new fields of biological investigation have emerged from genome sequencing projects. Which of the following does NOT correctly match a field with its description or goal?

1) Genomics - Study of the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes.
2) Proteomics - Study of the structure, function, and interactions of proteins.
3) Metagenomics - Study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples.
4) Transcriptomics - Study of the transcriptome, the complete set of RNA transcripts produced by the genome.

Answer 1

Transcriptomics is the field that does not correctly match its description or goal in the given options. Hence, option 4) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The field that does not correctly match its description or goal is Transcriptomics - Study of the transcriptome, the complete set of RNA transcripts produced by the genome.

This is because Transcriptomics does match its description and goal of studying the complete set of RNA transcripts produced by the genome.
