A)highly uniform in the population with variable numbers of tandem repeats
B)highly heterogeneous with variable amino acid substitutions
C)lethal genes with small noteworthy transcribed regions
D)variable in the population with variable base sequences
E)homogeneous with various nucleotides transcribed repeatedly

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
