The human chromosome 1 is approximately 250 million nucleotides long. In order to sequence human chromosome 1, the chromosome is digested into hundreds of small fragments
These short fragments are placed together in the correct order to generate the
long, continuous sequence of nucleotides in chromosome 1. Placing these fragments
together is referred to as:
A. sequence sequencing.
B. sequence shuffling.
C. sequence assembly.
D. sequence numbering.
E. sequence assignment.

What is the advantage of cells being so small?
A. Small cells contain a greater quantity of enzymes than large cells. B. Small cells do not require energy and get everything they need from osmosis. C.
