Which of the given statements is incorrect about ASCII and Hexadecimal?

Each character is stored in binary code in the smallest unit of memory, called a bit

Computers store sequence information as simple rows of sequence characters called strings, which are similar to the sequences shown on the computer terminal

Each character is stored in binary code in the smallest unit of memory, called a byte

Each character is stored in binary code in the smallest unit of memory, called a bit

By convention, many of these combinations have a specific definition, called their ASCII equivalent

Which of the following is wrong about Abstract Syntax Notation Sequence Format?

The information is much more difficult to read by eye than a GenBank formatted sequence

Abstract Syntax Notation (ASN.1) is a formal data description language that has been developed by the computer industry

All the information found in other forms of sequence storage, e.g., the GenBank format, is present. For example, sequences can be retrieved in this format by ENTREZ

Taxonomic information and bibliographic information cannot be encoded with this format

Which of the following is wrong about Genetics Computer Group Sequence Format?

If one or more sequence characters become changed through error, a program reading the sequence will be able to determine that the change has occurred because the checksum value in the sequence entry will no longer be correct

Earlier versions of the Genetics Computer Group (GCG) programs require a unique sequence format and include programs that convert other sequence formats into GCG format

Information about the sequence in the GenBank entry is not included but the line information is carried out

If one or more sequence characters become changed through error, a program reading the sequence will be able to determine that the change has occurred because the checksum value in the sequence entry will no longer be correct

Lines of information are terminated by two periods, which mark the end of information and the start of the sequence on the next line
