Answer 1

The correct choice is (d) It does not make a use of HMMs

The best explanation: In addition to FGENES, there are many variants of the program. Some programs, such as FGENESH, make use of HMMs. There are others, such as FGENESH C, that are similarity based. Some programs, such as FGENESH+, combine both ab initio and similarity-based approaches.
