Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A consensus sequence can be hypothetical, but it is typically derived from multiple sequences and represents the nucleotides most commonly found at each position. In some cases, a consensus sequence may also represent the most efficient promoter sequence for the RNA polymerase holoenzyme. Therefore, all of the choices are correct.
