← Logic & PuzzlesIf a custom DNA sequencing algorithm processes data in overlapping chunks, which consequence follows if the chunk processing sequence contains duplicated segments?
A)Increased computational efficiency results
B)Spurious sequence repeats are introduced✓
C)Processing time remains unaffected
D)Memory usage decreases significantly
💡 Explanation
Duplicated segments in the processing sequence lead to the algorithm misinterpreting these segments as genuine repetitions within the original DNA, because the sliding window sequence generates redundant data. Therefore, spurious repeats are introduced, rather than efficient processing or unaffected performance, as these require unique data processing.
