Question 1 of 5
1. Question
With reference to Bioinformatics, consider the following statements:
1. Bioinformatics involves the use of computer technology to manage and analyze biological data.
2. It is used in the field of genomics, proteomics, and drug discovery.
Which of these statements is/are correct?
Correct
(c) Both 1 and 2 statements are correct
Bioinformatics is the application of information technology to the study of living things, usually at the molecular level. Bioinformatics involves the use of computers to collect, organize and use biological information to answer questions in fields like evolutionary biology.
It is an interdisciplinary field that develops methods and software tools for understanding biological data. As an interdisciplinary field of science, bioinformatics combines computer science, statistics, mathematics and engineering to analyze and interpret biological data. Bioinformatics has been used for in silico analyses of biological queries using mathematical and statistical techniques.
Applications of Bioinformatics.
• In Gene therapy.
• In Evolutionary studies.
• In Microbial applications.
• In Prediction of Protein Structure.
• For the Storage and Retrieval of Data.
• In the field of medicine, used in the discovery of new drugs.
• In Biometrical Analysis for identification and access control for improvising crop management, crop production and pest control.

2. Question
With reference to Bluetongue Disease, consider the following statements:
1. Bluetongue Disease is a contagious viral disease that affects both wild and domestic ruminants.
2. The disease is primarily transmitted by biting midges of the Culicoides species.
3. Sheep are more likely to show symptoms of Bluetongue Disease compared to cattle.
How many of the statements is/are correct?
Correct
(b) Only two statements are correct (2nd and 3rd)
Bluetongue is a viral disease that affects ruminants like sheep, cattle, goats, and deer. It’s transmitted by biting midges, and is not contagious between animals. However, infected animals can spread the virus through their blood, semen, and embryos (Statement 1 is incorrect)
Sheep are more likely to show symptoms compared to cattle.
