Questions and Answers

What does genomics primarily focus on?

  • The complete set of genetic information of an organism (correct)
  • The function of individual genes
  • The inheritance patterns of traits
  • The role of RNA in genetic processes
  • Which of the following statements accurately describes a gene?

  • It is a specific sequence of DNA coding for a functional molecule. (correct)
  • It includes both coding and non-coding DNA.
  • It is the complete genetic information of an organism.
  • It is the study of an organism’s genome.
  • What is the primary distinction between genomics and genetics?

  • Genetic studies are only about coding DNA, while genomics includes non-coding DNA exclusively.
  • Genomics studies the complete genetic information, whereas genetics focuses on individual genes and their functions. (correct)
  • Genomics involves the study of heredity while genetics focuses on genetic variation.
  • Genomics deals with single genes while genetics studies entire genomes.
