Question

Which of the given statements is incorrect about global gene regulation?

(a) One way to obtain useful information about a genome is to determine which genes are induced or repressed in response to a phase of the cell cycle

(b) Sets of a gene whose expression rises and falls under the same condition are likely to have a related function

(c) Sets of a gene whose expression rises and falls under the same condition are likely to have dissimilar functions

(d) Cell cycle is a developmental phase, or a response to the environment

I have been asked this question in an interview.

My question is from Global Gene Regulation topic in division Genome Analysis of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) Sets of a gene whose expression rises and falls under the same condition are likely to have dissimilar functions

Best explanation: In addition, a pattern of gene expression may also be an indicator of abnormal cellular regulation and is a useful tool in cancer diagnosis. Because genomes, especially eukaryotic genomes, are so large, a new technology has been developed for studying the regulation of thousands of genes on a microscope slide.
