○ false

○ true
○ false

1. the area of research that explores the effect of specific nutrients and other chemical compounds on gene expression is called _______.

○ nutrigenics
○ nutrigenomics
○ obesogenics
○ callisthenics

Explanation:

Question 6

A correlation in statistics (and research) measures the relationship between two or more variables (factors). So the statement is correct.

Animal studies have differences in physiology, metabolism, and genetics compared to humans. Results from animal studies can't be directly transferred to humans (e.g., drug testing in animals vs. human trials). So the statement is false.

• Nutrigenics: Not the term for nutrient - gene expression interaction.
• Nutrigenomics: Defined as the study of how nutrients and chemical compounds affect gene expression.
• Obesogenics: Related to factors causing obesity, not gene expression from nutrients.
• Callisthenics: Bodyweight exercises, not related to this field.

So the correct term is Nutrigenomics.

Answer:

True
