Chapter 18, Problem 1TYU
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Bioinformatics is a science in which we collect and store the data and information by using the computer. It is especially used to interpret the biological result of genetics and genomic science.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct answer:

Bioinformatics is a science in which we store and collect the data. It is especially used in gene sequencing and analysis. It does not involve in gene recombination technology. Therefore, option (B) is correct

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Genetic engineering uses the DNA based technology to combine DNA from two different sources in a test tube. This technology is not included in Bioinformatics because; Bioinformatics gives only information about the gene sequencing.

Option (B) is given as “using DNA based technology to combine DNA from two different sources in a test tube”.

“Bioinformatics includes all of the following except using DNA based technology to combine DNA from two different sources in a test tube”, it is the right answer.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (A) is given as “using computer programs to align DNA sequences”.

Bioinformatics uses the computer to align the DNA sequences. So, this is a wrong answer.

Option (C) is given as “developing computer based tools for genome analysis”.

Bioinformatics science is a computer based technology in which it develops the programs or computer based tools for genome analysis. So, this is a wrong answer.

Option (D) is given as “using mathematical tools to analyze biological systems”.

Bioinformatics uses computer and mathematical based tools to analyze biological systems. So, this is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (A), (C) and (D) are incorrect.

Conclusion

Bioinformatics includes all of the following except using DNA based technology to combine DNA from two different sources in a test tube.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
