Proteomics is considered more genomics because A. the genome on an organism is relatively constant unless the environment changes. B.Proteins are smaller molecules than genes. C. the proteome of an organism changes due to its biochemical interactions with the genome and the environment. D. everything about the human genome has been discovered.

Lol Angie. Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions.[1][2] Proteins are vital parts of living organisms, as they are the main components of the physiological metabolic pathways of cells. The term proteomics was first coined in 1997[3] to make an analogy with genomics, the study of the genome. The word proteome is a blend of protein and genome, and was coined by Marc Wilkins in 1994 while working on the concept as a PhD student.[4][5] The proteome is the entire set of proteins,[4] produced or modified by an organism or system. This varies with time and distinct requirements, or stresses, that a cell or organism undergoes. Proteomics is an interdisciplinary domain formed on the basis of the research and development of the Human Genome Project;[citation needed] it is also emerging scientific research and exploration of proteomes from the overall level of intracellular protein composition, structure, and its own unique activity patterns. It is an important component of functional genomics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteomics
