Why is biological replication (having multiple samples per condition) essential in RNA-Seq experiments?A. It increases the total amount of RNA extracted, improving sequencing yieldB. It allows statistical models to estimate biological variability and distinguish true expression differences from random noiseC. It allows researchers to sequence more genes per experimentD. It is required by sequencing platforms to calibrate their instruments
