Q. When performing a sequence alignment between two DNA or protein sequences, which of the following statements best describes the point at which shared ancestry can no longer be detected?

#Bio-Informatics
  1. When the sequences contain any number of insertions or deletions (indels).
  2. When the sequences have diverged to the point where the signal of homology is indistinguishable from random chance.
  3.  When the sequences show substitutions in more than 5% of the aligned regions.
  4. When the sequences are of different lengths, making a global alignment impossible.
