1.

Answer» Correct OPTION is (a) True To explain: This is indeed the drawback of that method. For this reason, full dynamic programming is limited to small DATASETS of less than ten SHORT sequences. For the same reason, few multiple alignment programs employing this “brute force” approach are PUBLICLY available.
