In proteomics,
A) researchers map the sequence of all human DNA base pairs.
B) scientists modify gene-specified proteins involved in disease.
C) doctors correct genetic abnormalities by delivering DNA carrying a functional gene to the cells.
D) the fetus is inspected for defects of the limbs and face using a small tube with a light source.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In proteomics, scientists study and analyze the structure, function, and interactions of all the proteins in a particular organism or system. This can include modifying gene-specified proteins that are involved in disease processes to better understand their mechanisms and potential treatments. Mapping the sequence of all human DNA base pairs (A) is part of genomics, while correcting genetic abnormalities by delivering DNA carrying a functional gene to cells (C) is a specific gene therapy technique. Inspecting fetuses for defects using a small tube with a light source (D) is an invasive diagnostic procedure called endoscopy, but it is not directly related to proteomics research.
