Best answer

The correct answer is (c) an alignment algorithm and a particular scoring matrix

Explanation: Analysis of the yeast and C. elegans genomes for such repeats has underscored the importance of using a range of DNA scoring matrices such as PAM1 to

PAM120 if most repeats are to be found. The application of the above Bayesian analysis allows a determination of the probability distributions as a function of both length of the repeated region and evolutionary distance.
