Question 8 Not yet answered Points out of 1.00 P Flag question If you compare a bacterium and a eukaryote of the same genome size, Select one: a. the bacterium likely has more insertion elements b. The bacterium likely has more genes C. The eukaryote likely has more metabolic pathways d. All of the above are true Question 9 Not yet answered Points out of 1.00 P Flag question Which of those listed is MOST informative of a cell's potential function? Select one: Oa. Metabolome b. Proteome C. Transcriptome o d. Genome

Explanation / Answer

FOR ANSWER 8-- You are quite right, answer is all of the above..If you are comparing genome size of bacterium and eukaryotes the u will find that prokaryotes or bacterium has compact genome that is less intron (non coding part of genome) than the exon or coding region and all the IS element is much more in prokaryotes than eukaryotes, nonetheless eukaryotes have larger genome size and having less coding regions and more n more non coding and regulatory regions.As for eukaryotes are larger they likely to have more metabolic pathways..

FOR ANSWER 9-- No u are not right this time.Since genome carries most information not cells potential function.The answer will be PROTEOME.Since most cellular enzymatic functions, regulatory switches, signal transducers, and structural components are composed of proteins, characterizing the proteins expressed by a cell can give important clues to the function, organization, and responsiveness inherent in a cell thats why we choose proteome most informative for cell function..

Metabolome is nothing but global collection of all low molecular weight metabolites that are produced by cells during metabolism.

And the transcriptome is the complete set of transcripts(set of all RNA molecules from protein coding (mRNA) to noncoding RNA, including rRNA, tRNA, lncRNA, pri-miRNA, and others) in a cell or a population of cells for a specific developmental stage or physiological condition.
