- A Growing bacterial cultures under carefully controlled sterile laboratory conditions
- B Using computers to analyze biological data (sequences, structures, genomes)
- C Producing biofuels mainly from fermented plant biomass and waste material
- D Producing transgenic organisms through direct gene insertion techniques
Correct answer: B. Using computers to analyze biological data (sequences, structures, genomes)
Explanation: Bioinformatics: application of computer science and statistics to biological data, especially DNA/protein sequences. Includes genome annotation, phylogenetics.
Concept context
GM crops, transgenic animals, gene therapy, molecular diagnostics, and bioethics. Frequent 2–3 mark questions in NEET.
