Differentiate between structural, functional, and comparative genomics.
What will be an ideal response?
Genomics is the study of genes and their function. Specifically, structural genomics is the study of the sequence of bases and the characterization of genes. The aim of functional genomics is to further characterize genes and their mRNA and protein products. Comparative genomics compares the human genome to the genome of other organisms. It includes investigation of the evolutionary relationships between the genes and proteins of different species.

Which of the following statements about the structure of microtubules is false?
(a) Microtubules are built from protofilaments that come together to make a hollow structure. (b) The two ends of a protofilament are chemically distinct, with ?-tubulin exposed at one end and ?-tubulin exposed at the other end. (c) Within a microtubule, all protofilaments are arranged in the same orientation, giving the microtubule structural polarity. (d) ?-Tubulin and ?-tubulin are covalently bound to make the tubulin dimer that then assembles into protofilaments.
