Multiple Choice

Which definition is NOT correctly matched to its genomic field of study?

Metagenomics: The study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples.

Epigenomics: The study of heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence.

Proteomics: The large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions.

Transcriptomics: The study of all proteins expressed in a cell or organism.

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Review each term and its definition carefully to understand the scope of each genomic field of study.

Step 2: Recall that Metagenomics involves studying genetic material from environmental samples, which matches the given definition.

Step 3: Understand that Epigenomics focuses on heritable changes in gene expression without altering the DNA sequence, which aligns with the provided definition.

Step 4: Recognize that Proteomics is the study of the entire set of proteins, including their structures and functions, consistent with the definition given.

Step 5: Identify that Transcriptomics actually refers to the study of all RNA transcripts produced in a cell or organism, not proteins, so the provided definition for Transcriptomics is incorrect.
