Which of the Following Is a Reason That Expressed Sequence

question 2

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is a reason that expressed sequence tags (ESTs) aid the identification of DNA that encodes proteins?

• A) ESTs are amino acid sequences that can be used to predict the DNA sequence used in cellular gene expression.
• B) ESTs are short DNA sequences conserved among all protein coding regions that can be scanned for by computer software.
• C) ESTs are cDNA sequences and since cDNA synthesis uses an mRNA template ESTs identify protein coding genes.
• D) ESTs are complementary to DNA promoter sequences and can act as coding region-specific primers.
