Correct answer
A. Repetitive sequences are stretches of DNA sequences that are repeated many times, sometimes hundred to thousan
Step-by-step solution
Some of the salient observations drawn from human genome project are as follows: (vii) Repetitive sequences are stretches of DNA sequences that are repeated many times, sometimes hundred to thousand times. They are thought to have no direct coding functions, but they shed light on chromosome structure, dynamics and evolution. (viii) Chromosome 1 has most genes (2968), and the Y has the fewest (231). (ix) Scientists have identified about 1.4 million locations where single-base DNA differences (SNPs – single nucleoti
