Question

Compare and contrast the genome, the proteome, and the transcriptome of an organism.

Accepted Answer

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following best describes the difference between the genome and the proteome. And before we jump into the answer, choices, I really want you to realize the difference between genome and proteome and try to recall from previous videos. What this difference is going to be is in case you forgot, let me remind you but remember that the genome is going to be this complete set of the genetic material that makes up an organism. While the proteome, it's going to be something very similar is going to be the complete set of the protein material that makes up an organism knowing this, this jump over and go over each of our answer choices so that we may solve the problem. Beginning by answer choice. A genome is the complete set of proteins that are produced by the organism or the protein is a set of genetic material in an organism. Looking at this, we can see that this is switch, this is not a public statement. So we're going to cancel it out. Then we have c the genome can change in response to environmental conditions. While the protium is relatively static and does not change over time. Remember that proteins are produced based on needs. If we need a certain protein to be produced, these are going to be produced on demand. However, our genomes or genes are going to be set through the organism's lifetime. Unless a mutation happens, it is their expression that changes. But the actual genome will always remain the same because of this. This is an incorrect statement and we're also going to cancel it out. Then we happy the genome is the foundation of the organism while the proteome is the product of the genome. Well, remember that the genome is going to be representing the D N A. This D N A is transformed into RNA and then this is transformed into proteins. So we could think that the protium or these proteins are in fact a product of the genome or the D N A. This is true and the genome is the foundation of the organism. This is also true because the genome encompasses the genes which make up the organisms and the traits that it's going to have. Because of this answer. Choice B is a correct statement and we're going to highlight it as a final answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
