Chapter 21, Problem 1TY
Summary Introduction

Introduction: Proteins are important biomolecules encoded by the genes. They play role in the metabolism of the organism. Structural proteins and functional proteins are the two types of proteins. Due to advances in technology, the entire collection of the proteins produced by the organism can be maintained in the form of a library for further use in research.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1TY

Correct answer: The entire collection of proteins produced by the cell or organism is called proteome. Hence, the correct answer is option c.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct answer:

Every cell has different proteome based on the type of function it performs and the size of the cell. Eukaryotic cells have larger proteome than prokaryotic cells. The proteome of an organism includes all the proteins synthesized in an organism.

Option c. is given as “proteome”.

Proteome refers to the entire proteins expressed by a cell or organism. Hence, the correct answer is option c.

Reasons for the incorrect answer:

Option a. is given as, “genome”.

The genome is the complete set of genes of an organism. Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as, “bioinformatics”.

Bioinformatics is the interdisciplinary study of biological problems to analyze and interpret them. Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as, “gene family”.

A gene family is the set of all genes that are evolved from a single gene. Hence, option d. is incorrect.

Option e. is given as, “protein family”.

A protein family is the set of all proteins that are evolved from the single gene. Hence, option e. is incorrect.

Hence, the options a., b., d., and e. are incorrect.

Conclusion

The entire collection of proteins produced by an organism or a cell is referred to as a proteome.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
