If a lossless compression algorithm is designed for genetic sequences with uneven base frequencies, which consequence follows from using Huffman coding?

💡 Explanation

Huffman coding assigns shorter bit sequences to more frequent symbols because it minimizes the average code length based on symbol probabilities; therefore, frequent bases in the genetic sequence will have shorter codes, rather than requiring uniform representation or introducing errors due to misinterpretation of compressed data.
