Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Nutrigenetics is the interaction between an individual's genetic profile (i.e., genotypes of specific genes and the function of proteins encoded by those genes) with nutrients and other bioactive food components. In contrast, nutrigenomics is the study of mechanisms by which nutrients and other food-derived bioactive substances interact with the genome to influence gene expression.
