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