DNA_motifs: ['TTCAT', 'AATCATGA', 'CCCGC', 'GGCATT', 'CACGT'] Based on the defined list 'DNA_motifs' in question 4, please write a python function (naming it to find_motifs) to get motifs that contain the string 'C?C' ('?' can be one of 'A', 'C', 'G', 'T'). The function should accept any list of DNA sequences, and print out the expected strings that satisfy the criteria. expected sample output:

CCCGC CACGT

Maybe something like that:

def find_motifs(motifs: list, accepted_sequences: list) -> list:
    return [motif for motif in motifs
            if any(seq in motif for seq in accepted_sequences)]


dna_motifs = ['TTCAT', 'AATCATGA', 'CCCGC', 'GGCATT', 'CACGT']
accepted = ['CAC', 'CCC', 'CGC', 'CTC']
assert find_motifs(dna_motifs, accepted) == ['CCCGC', 'CACGT']
