Question

in retrospect, one of the lessons of the 2003 human genome project is that a gene is affected by many factors, not the least of which is its interactions with the protein products of other genes. ____ rather than just focusing on the human genome, efforts to better understand gene mutations related to disease have begun to consider the human proteome, the complete set of proteins expressed by human genes. 25 which choice completes the text with the most logical transition? a in other words, b that said, c for example, d accordingly

Explanation:

The first - part of the text discusses the realization from the Human Genome Project about gene - protein interactions. The second part says that instead of just focusing on the genome, efforts are now considering the proteome. "Accordingly" shows a logical progression based on the previous information. "In other words" is for re - stating the same idea, "That said" is used to introduce a contrast or qualification, and "For example" is for providing an illustration. Here, the second part is a result or a step taken based on the first part, so "Accordingly" is the best fit.

Answer:

D. Accordingly
