E)both choices A and D

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interspersed repeat DNA constitutes a significant portion of most mammalian genomes (25-40%) and is found in gene families, such as the Alu family. These repeats are not clustered in the genome and can vary in length from 10⁵-10⁷ bp for each repeat. Therefore, both choices A and D are correct.
