Question

______ can comprise a large proportion of the eukaryotic genome as ______

(a) transposable elements, single copy sequences

(b) transposable elements, repetitive sequences

(c) macrosatellite DNA elements, single copy sequences

(d) satellite DNA elements, single copy sequences

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) transposable elements, repetitive sequences

The best explanation: Transposable elements (TEs) are thought to play an important role in the evolution of these genomes. TEs are DNA sequences that can move from one chromosomal location to another faster than the chromosome can replicate.
