Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the difference between a transcriptome and a genome?

  1. A transcriptome is a complete set of RNA molecules in a cell, while a genome is a complete set of DNA molecules in a cell.
  2. A transcriptome is a subset of the genome that is expressed as RNA, while a genome is the complete set of DNA molecules in a cell.
  3. A transcriptome is a dynamic entity that changes over time, while a genome is a static entity that does not change.
  4. All of the above
