Answer: a) BLAST is an example of a homology and similarity tool in bioinformatics.
Explanation:
BLAST is Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) also a homology and similarity tool that finds regions of local similarity between nucleotide or protein sequences. It compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the significance of matches statistically. BLAST can be used to deduce functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help in identifying members of gene families.
