Question

Which of the following is incorrect regarding gene ontology?

(a) There is standardization of the names and activities

(b) There is no standardization of associated pathways

(c) It provides consistency in describing overall protein functions

(d) It facilitates grouping of proteins of related functions

This question was addressed to me in homework.

Enquiry is from Genome Annotation topic in division Genome Mapping, Assembly and Comparison of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) There is no standardization of associated pathways

To explain: A GO description of a protein provides three sets of information: biological process, cellular component, and molecular function, each of which uses a unique set of non-overlapping vocabularies. The standardization of the names, activities, and associated pathways provides consistency in describing overall protein functions.
