All of the Following are Types of Repeats Found in the Human

Question

All of the following are types of repeats found in the human genome EXCEPT
A) Alu sequences.
B) LINE 1 sequences.
C) transposons
D) STRs.
E) All of these are repetitive sequences in the genome.

Accepted Answer

All of the options listed (Alu sequences, LINE 1 sequences, transposons, and STRs) are indeed types of repetitive sequences found in the human genome. Alu sequences and LINE 1 sequences are specific types of transposable elements or transposons, which can move around within the genome. STRs (Short Tandem Repeats) are another form of repetitive DNA that consists of short sequences repeated in tandem.
