TEs (Transposable Elements) can at most comprise one-fourth of the genome sequence.

TEs (Transposable Elements) can at most comprise one-fourth of the genome sequence. Correct Answer False

TEs (Transposable Elements) can comprise one-half or more of the genome sequence. Eukaryotic genomes comprise classes of repeated elements, including tandem repeats present in centromeres and telomeres, dispersed tandem repeats (minisatellites and macrosatellites), and interdispersed TEs.

Consider the following two C code segment. Y and X are one- and two-dimensional arrays of size n and n × n respectively, where 2 ≤ n ≤ 10. Assume that in both code segments, elements of y are initialized to 0 and each element X[i] [j] of array X is initialized to i + j. Further assume that when stored in main memory all elements of x are in same main memory page frame. Code segment 1:                 //initialize elements of y to 0                 //initialize elements X[i] [j] of X to i+j                       for (i = 0; i < n; i++)                                 Y[i] += X[0] [i]; Code Segment 2:                 //initialize elements of Y to 0                 //initialize elements X[i] [j] of X to i+j                        for (i = 0; i < n; i++)                                 Y[i] += X[i] [0]; Which of the following statements is/are correct? S1: Final contents of array Y will be same in both code segments S2: Elements of array X accessed inside the for loop shown in code segment 1 are contiguous in main memory S3: Elements of array X accessed inside the for loop shown in code segment 2 are contiguous in main memory
