Concept explainers
To determine:
The major theme among; the relationship structure to function, information flow, pathways that transform energy and matter, interactions within biological system and evolution, which is evident and related with statement “bioinformatics tools allow for examination of all the parts that constitute a living organism(such as protein and genes), allowing their interrelationships to be studied”.
Introduction:
Bioinformatics is the creation, development and operation of database and other computing tools to collect organize and interpret biological data in order to find solutions to biological problems. Bioinformatics in combination with computational tool provides the information that aim to analyze the biological interactions using gene and protein sequences.

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between Uniporters, Symporters and Antiporters?
