- Classified sequence
- Compound sequence
- Conjugated sequence
- Consensus sequence
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
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.
