Question

A DNA or amino acid sequence consisting of residues that most commonly occur at each position is called:

• A. Classified sequence
• B. Compound sequence
• C. Conjugated sequence
• D. Consensus sequence

Hint:

Consensus sequences help identify conserved regions critical for biological functions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A consensus sequence represents the most common nucleotide or amino acid found at each position in a set of aligned sequences. It is often used in bioinformatics to identify conserved regions in DNA, RNA, or proteins.
