Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bioinformatics includes using computer programs to align DNA sequences (I), developing computer-based tools for genome analysis (III), and using mathematical tools to make sense of biological systems (IV). However, creating recombinant DNA from separate species (II) falls under the field of genetic engineering, not bioinformatics. Therefore, the best choice is B, which includes the correct options.
