1) Define social adaptability?

The ability to adjust one's behavior and attitudes to fit


into a new social environment or culture.

2) What is immune computing? A computational approach that mimics the biological


immune system to solve complex problems like anomaly detection and optimization.

3) What is clonal selection? The process where immune cells with high affinity to
antigens are selected, cloned, and used to fight infections.

4) Define affinity maturation? The refinement of antibodies through mutation and


selection to increase their binding strength to antigens.

5) Types of bone marrow models? Artificial cell generation, negative selection


algorithm, clonal selection algorithm, memory cells, and detector-based models.

6) Challenges in immune computing? Includes scalability, parameter tuning,


computational cost, biological accuracy, and adaptability to dynamic environments.

7) Future directions of immune computing? Focus on real-time processing, integration


with quantum computing, explainability, and applications in bioinformatics.

8) Advantages of AIS? Robust, adaptive, decentralized, fault-tolerant, and capable of


learning and memory.

9) Applications of AIN’S? Data clustering, visualization, optimization, control systems,


anomaly detection, and robotics.

10) List out four data bases used in bio-informatics? GenBank, UniProt, EMBL-EBI,
Protein Data Bank.

11) Importance of biological data bases? They store, manage, and enable efficient
retrieval and analysis of massive biological datasets.

12) List out bio informatics tools? BLAST, FASTA, ClustalW, AlphaFold, DESeq2,
MEGA, UCSC Genome Browser.

13) Difference between AIS & computational immunology? AIS focuses on


engineering solutions using immune-inspired algorithms, while computational
immunology models and studies biological immune processes.

14) Challenges in Bio-Informatics analysis? Data integration, scalability, data quality,


algorithm efficiency, and interpretability.

15) What is bio-informatics? An interdisciplinary field that combines biology, computer


science, and statistics to analyze and interpret biological data.
16) What are BLAST and FASTA Tools for comparing DNA or protein sequences to
identify similarities and infer functional or evolutionary relationships.

17) What is the significance of sequence similarity in bioinformatics Helps identify


gene/protein functions, evolutionary relationships, and disease-related mutations.

18) What is the purpose of gene expression To study how genes are activated or
suppressed in different conditions, aiding in disease research and drug development.

19) How can we measure & access the effectiveness of social adaption efforts
Through behavior assessments, surveys, social integration metrics, and performance in
new environments.

20) What role do social norm, values and beliefs play in social adaption They guide
acceptable behavior, influence adaptation, and shape individual responses within a social
setting.
