    The Physiome Project was proposed in 1993 by the International Union of Physiological Sciences to provide a quantitative description of organism function and behavior. The goal is to integrate modeling data, methods, software tools, and databases related to physiology and make them available to all. This helps further understanding of human physiology and health. Previous research information is also easily accessible, aiding new discoveries. No disadvantages were identified for the Physiome Project. "Survival of the fittest" refers to the idea proposed by Herbert Spencer that in natural selection, organisms best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.

    Q#1:

    What do you know about the Physiome Project history? Explain its working and also pro and cons.

    The concept of physiome project was first proposed by IUPS (International Union of Physiological Sciences) in
    1993. They presented this project with the goal for providing “a quantitative description and functional behavior
    of the inact organisms”. In 2001, this project became a focus for IUPS.

    The main objective of this project is to collect integrated modelling data, information on different methods used
    for processing and related software tools and databases and make them available for everyone.

    Advantages:

    This project is helping us to understand and explain the physiology of human beings which will improve human
    health.

    The information about previous researches is easily available which helps in new discoveries.

    Disadvantages:

    I do not think there is any disadvantage of this project.

    Q#2:

    What is meant by “Survival of fittest”?

    The term “Survival of fittest” was first proposed by Herbert Spencer. This idea stated that Natural selection
    supports fittest organisms. It means that the organisms which are more favorable to changes will survive
