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. - October 13, 2010 at 9:25 am #101800JackBeanParticipant
a, b nonsense
c = e
probably d is correct - October 13, 2010 at 9:26 am #101801JackBeanParticipant
question, what you exactly mean by highly repetitive DNA?

Highly repetitive DNA sequences.

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.

The answer was d 🙂
