Introduction:
Microbiome refers to a particular assemblage of microbes and genes that occurs in a defined environment.
Answer to Problem 1TY
The correct answer is option (c) a particular assemblage of microbes and genes that occurs in a defined environment.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (c) a particular assemblage of microbes and genes that occurs in a defined environment. Biome refers to a major type of habitat characterized by distinctive life forms and microbiome refers to major type of habitat characterized by distinctive microbial life forms. Hence; Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) an interaction between two different species of microorganisms. Symbiosis refers to an interaction between two different species.Hence; Option (a) is not the correct answer.
Option (b) an environment that is microscopic. Though Micrbiome is a microscopic environment correct explanation for microbiome is a particular assemblage of microbes and genes that occurs in a defined environment. Hence; Option (b) is not the correct answer.
Option (d) the entire makeup of a particular microorganism.Entire genetic makeup of a microorganism called as “genotype”. It refers to an organism’s complete set of genes. Hence; Option (d) is not the correct answer.
Option (e) both a and d. Option (a) an interaction between two different species of microorganisms and option (d) is the entire genetic makeup of a particular microorganism. Microbiome refers to a particular assemblage of microbes and genes that occurs in a defined environment. Hence; Option (e) is not the correct answer.
A microbiome is a particular assemblage of microbes and genes that occurs in a defined environment. Therefore; option (c) is the correct answer.
