a technology that combines biological science, computer science, and information technology to enable the discovery of new biological insights and unifying principles
A
bioethics
B
bioinformatics
C
genetic engineering
D
polymerase chain reaction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bioinformatics is the field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge to form a single discipline.

Detailed explanation-2: -Key techniques include database management, data modeling, pattern recognition, data mining, query processing, and visualization of biological data. Until very recently, virtually all public databases were based on large flat files stored in simple formats.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bioinformatics is the new field in biotechnology that brings together biological studies, molecular biology and genetics with computational science, mathematics and statistics. Bioinformatics can be expanded what can be called as ‘Biological Informatics’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genomics is the study of whole genomes of organisms, and incorporates elements from genetics. Genomics uses a combination of recombinant DNA, DNA sequencing methods, and bioinformatics to sequence, assemble, and analyse the structure and function of genomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -It allows sequencing, assembling, and analysis of the structure and function of genomes by using a combination of recombinant DNA technology, DNA sequencing techniques, and bioinformatics tools and software.
