Question

If prediction accuracy can be represented using a ______ the ______ programs score roughly 20% to 60% depending on the length of the sequences.

(a) multiple parameter, ab initio–based

(b) single parameter, ab initio–based

(c) multiple parameter, comparative–based

(d) single parameter, comparative–based

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) single parameter, ab initio–based

Easiest explanation: As mentioned, the scores depend on the length of the sequences. Generally speaking, the programs perform better for shorter RNA sequences than for longer ones.
