Question
Chapter 18.5, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Repetitive sequences are DNA segments which are repeated several times within a genome. Repetitive sequences are abundant mostly in eukaryotes than prokaryotes. Repetitive sequences fall into different classes based on the structure and mode of multiplication.
