Open reading frame (ORF)analysis is not effective in identifying genes in higher eukaryotes because of the presence of
A)promoters.
B)enhancers.
C)introns.
D)repetitious DNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ORF analysis can identify potential coding regions, but in higher eukaryotes, the presence of introns makes it difficult to predict the exact location and boundaries of genes. Introns can break up ORFs into multiple segments, making it challenging to identify the complete coding sequence.
