A cDNA library differs from a DNA library in which way? Group of answer choices It consists solely of RNA molecules It contains many copies of the gene of interest It contains only coding sequences, not introns It is typically 10-100 times the size of a DNA library
Added by Elizabeth P.
Step 1
A cDNA (complementary DNA) library is made from mRNA and represents the expressed genes in a cell, while a DNA library contains genomic DNA, which includes both coding (exons) and non-coding (introns) sequences. Show more…

A cDNA library differs from a genomic library in which way? it consists solely of RNA molecules it contains many copies of the gene of interest it contains only coding sequences, not introns it is typically 10-100 times the size of a DNA library it contains the chromosomal DNA sequence of every gene
