Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

Correct Answer is option (A). A contig (from contiguous) is a set of overlapping DNA segments that together represent a consensus region of DNA.In bottom-up sequencing projects, a contig refers to overlapping sequence data (reads);in top-down sequencing projects, contig refers to the overlapping clones that form a physical map of the genome that is used to guide sequencing and assembly. Contigs can thus refer both to overlapping DNA sequence and to overlapping physical segments (fragments) contained in clones depending on the context.
