Biologists are examining changes in the proteins expressed by a nematode species under different levels of crowding.Which is the most likely tool or approach that they would use?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mass spectrometry is commonly used for protein analysis, so it is the most likely choice for examining changes in protein expression in this scenario. Metabolomics (A) would be used to study changes in metabolites, haplotype mapping (B) would be used to study genetic variation, gas chromatography (D) would be used to separate and identify chemical compounds in a sample, and metagenomics (E) would be used to analyze the collective genetic material of a community of organisms.
