For a 6-mer, the probability of finding any particular sequence is 1/4*1/4*1/4*1/4*1/4*1/4 = 1/(46). The probability that any given 6-mer is present in 46 random sequences is near unity. Note how many different sequences of 6-mers are present in the above sequence. so the answer according to me is 9
