Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

mRNA profiles are used to investigate the transcriptome, which includes all of the RNA transcripts in a cell, including mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. By examining mRNA profiles, we can identify which genes are being transcribed and potentially translated into proteins during times of stress. The genome (B) includes all of the DNA in a cell, while the proteome (C) represents all of the proteins in a cell. The spliceosome (A) is a cellular complex involved in RNA splicing, while microarrays (E) are a technology used to analyze gene expression.
