C) DNA amplification
D) Genomics
E) Proteomics

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genomics is the subdiscipline of genetics that focuses on the structure and function of entire genomes, including the sequencing and analysis of entire genomes. Recombinant DNA techniques, gene cloning, and DNA amplification are techniques in molecular biology that facilitate the study of genomics, but are not equivalent to the field of genomics itself. Proteomics, on the other hand, focuses on the study of the structure, function, and interactions of all the proteins within a cell or organism.
