← Logic & PuzzlesIf a lossless compression algorithm is designed for genetic sequences with uneven base frequencies, which consequence follows from using Huffman coding?
A)Increased sequence alignment errors occur
B)Reduced enzyme recognition site identification
C)Uniform bit representation for each base
D)Shorter code lengths for frequent bases✓
💡 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.
