  Hi, I have a genetics question.
  What is the difference between highly repetitive DNA and single copy genes?
  a. Highly repetitive DNA has more alanine.
  b. Highly repetitive DNA is not replicated.
  c. Highly repetitive DNA has more cytosine.
  d. Highly repetitive DNA is not transcribed.
  e. Highly repetitive DNA has more guanine.
  f. None of the above.
  Thanks.

  yeah, I didn’t get that… 🙄
  there can be some repetitive sequences like CACACACACACACA or repetitive sequences in the meaning of being multiple times in the genome like transposones etc.
