In a multidimensional search matrix, for aligning N sequences, an (N+2)-dimensional matrix is needed to be filled with alignment scores. Correct Answer False

In a multidimensional search matrix, for aligning N sequences, an N-dimensional matrix is needed to be filled with alignment scores. For instance, for three sequences, a three-dimensional matrix is required to account for all possible alignment scores. Back-tracking is applied through the three-dimensional matrix to find the highest scored path that represents the optimal alignment.
