MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1

Which of the following is the primary focus of metagenomics ?

Determining protein structure of the community Investigating genetic material from environmental samples Correct Determining genetic mutation within population Studying individual genomes of the organisms

Scope of Metagenomics:
Metagenomics: The genomic analysis of collective microbial communities directly recovered from environmental samples (e.g., seawater, sediment, gut microbiome) without requiring laboratory culturing or isolation of individual species.
It investigates the total genomic diversity, community composition, and metabolic potential of complex environmental consortia.
Correct Option: Option 2 (Investigating genetic material from environmental samples).
