Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional genomics research aims to understand the function of genes and their products, including the patterns of gene expression during development or in response to different conditions. Option A is a basic question about the number of genes in a model organism, not related to function. Option B is a question about a genomic feature not necessarily related to function. Option D is a question about the structure of one specific gene, not related to broader gene function. Option E is a question about gene similarity between two species, not necessarily related to gene function.
