Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Mobile elemests- LINEs and SINEs

2. Exons

3. Non-coding RNA genes

4. Introns

5. Repetitive DNA sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

The human genome represents the total nucleic acids present in the Homo sapiens packaged in 23 chromosome pairs and contains 3 billion DNA base pairs.

The human genome comprises of protein-coding genes and non-protein-coding genes. The protein-coding sequence accounts for only a very small proportion that is 1.5% whereas the rest non-coding sequence accounts for 98.5%.

The non-coding sequence includes the Non-coding RNA genes( microRNA, small nuclear RNA), Introns which accounts for 26%, Repetitive DAN sequence (50%), mobile elements like LINEs and SINEs and exons.

Thus, Mobile elements- LINEs and SINEs, Exons, Non-coding RNA genes, Introns and Repetitive DNA sequence are the correct answers.
