Want to know:
Which of these statements about microsatellites is TRUE?a. If you were to compare the microsatellites in several generations of the same family, you would find that all individuals have the same alleles. This is because microsatellites have low mutation rates.b. Microsatellites are primarily found in coding regions of DNA (exons); microsatellites rarely occur in noncoding DNA and introns.c. Discovering microsatellite loci in the genome of a species is done by performing a computer search of its complete genomic sequence.d. Microsatellites typically consist of repeating stretches of 10 base-pair sequences; microsatellites composed of shorter repeating sequences are very rare and not normally found in the genome.
