Two considerations arise in trying to tune the PSSM so that it adequately represents the training sequences. Which of the following is not their description?(a) If a given column in 20 sequences has only isoleucine, it is not very likely that different amino acid will be found in other sequences with that motif because the residue is probably important for function(b) If a given column in 20 sequences has only isoleucine, it is very likely that different amino acid will be found in other sequences with that motif because the residue is probably important for function(c) If the number of sequences with the found motif is large and reasonably diverse, the sequences represent a good statistical sampling of all sequences that are ever likely to be found with that same motif(d) Another column in the motif from the 20 sequences may have several amino acids, and some amino acids may not be represented at all

Answer» Right option is (b) If a given column in 20 sequences has only isoleucine, it is very likely that different amino acid will be found in other sequences with that motif because the residue is probably important for function

Easy explanation: The PSSM is constructed by a simple logarithmic transformation of a matrix giving the frequency of each amino acid in the motif. Even more variation may be expected at that position in other sequences, although the more abundant amino acids already found in that column would probably be favored.
