Sequencing eukaryotic genomes is more difficult than sequencing genomes of bacteria or archaea because of _____.
A)the large size of eukaryotic proteins
B)the hard to find proteins
C)the high proportion of G-C base pairs in eukaryotic DNA
D)the large size of eukaryotic genomes and the large amount of eukaryotic repetitive DNA
E)the large size of eukaryotic genomes,the large amount of eukaryotic repetitive DNA,and the high proportion of G-C base pairs in eukaryotic DNA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic genomes are generally very large and contain a significant amount of repetitive DNA, which can make it difficult to accurately sequence and assemble the genome. Bacteria and archaea have much smaller genomes, with less repetitive sequences, making them easier to sequence. G-C base pairs can also affect sequencing accuracy, but this is not the primary reason for the difficulty in sequencing eukaryotic genomes.
