question 27

Multiple Choice

Repeated sequences make genome sequencing challenging for of all of the following reasons EXCEPT:

• A)repeated sequences are typically longer than the short sequences obtained by automated sequencing.
• B)there is no easy way to determine how many copies of the same repeat are present within one chromosome.
• C)short repeats may fold back upon themselves to form a double-stranded structure that is not easily sequenced.
• D)the long repeats often have mutations that are not easily sequenced.
