[Campbell Biology P.400] According to the provided text, what information is represented by ... | Practice Question

According to the provided text, what information is represented by the height of an individual letter within a stack in a sequence logo, and what is represented by the total height of a stack?

  • A: Individual letter height represents the predictive power; total stack height represents the relative frequency.
  • B: Individual letter height represents the relative frequency of that base; total stack height represents the predictive power of that position.
  • C: Individual letter height represents the absolute count of that base; total stack height represents the number of unique bases.
  • D: Individual letter height represents the conservation of the base; total stack height represents the evolutionary distance.

Explanation

The text explicitly states: 'The height of each letter represents the relative frequency of that base at that position.' and 'The height of a stack of letters in a logo indicates the predictive power of that stack determined statistically .'
