A group of researchers isolate 'Protein X' from the wall of a human stomach with the intent of learning how to synthesize stomach tissue in the lab. Subsequently, they determine the exact sequence of amino acids of the protein in its unfolded state, and create a functional mRNA template to translate Protein X in vitro. They manage to translate an exact copy of the polypeptide chain in the lab, but then realize that it takes several days for the protein to fold into its final tertiary structure. In vivo, they observe that several thousand copies of Protein X are folded from polypeptide chains every minute. What is NOT a plausible explanation for this difference in folding times?

Genomics

Genes are responsible for transmitting the characters located on the chromosomes from one individual to another across the generations. Genetics is the study of different genes that are involved in different functions. Genetics is a branch of biology that studies genes, genetic diversity, and heredity in living organisms. The genetic system consists of genetic notations, which is a system of signs and symbols. Genotype refers to the organism's genetic composition, and phenotype refers to the observable property of the organism.
