Question

Members of a stable complex are often co-regulated and thus will be detected by the method of Conservation of gene order.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question in my homework.

My question is from The Use of Gene Order & Phylogeny to Predict Protein in section Global Approaches for Studying Protein – Protein Interactions of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) True

For explanation I would say: As much it is true proteins which are part of the same metabolic pathway or part of the same biological process can also be co-regulated. Therefore, although some of the genes detected as interacting by this method physically interact, others are just functionally associated with each other.
