Sites within the human genome where a short nucleotide sequence is repeated many times in a row are known as short tandem repeats.

DNA sequences with 2 to 6 base pairs are known as short tandem repeats (STRs), and they are dispersed throughout the genome. Multiple repetitions of these brief sequences are possible, and the number of repetitions varies greatly between people. The capacity to distinguish one sample from another is made possible by the great variability.

The Y-STR method's primary benefit is its capacity to identify the male component even in severe male-to-female DNA mixes. The number of semen donors for combinations of two or more male persons can be determined using it, as well as for quickly screening a large number of stains.

Due to their occasionally poor biostatistical efficiency and the potential to detect one or more genetic discrepancies that might potentially be explained by mutational events, STRs have a few drawbacks when examining genetic links in deficient cases.

Under the <u>communication's assistance for law enforcement act,</u> the Federal Communications Commission responded to appeals from the Justice Department by requiring providers of Internet phone services and broadband services to ensure that their equipment accommodated the use of law enforcement wiretaps.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The communication assistance for law enforcement act in short ''CALEA'' , it is also known as the digital telephony act, it is a law passed in 1994. It is an ability of law of enforcement to conduct lawful into section of communication by requiring that telecommunication carriers and manufacturing of telecommunication equipment, facilities and services to build the capabilities for targeted agencies to selectively any telephone traffic.

Several students have been practicing drawing their models of nucleotides. Whose model do you think is most consistent with the

RSB [31]

The first description of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)chain was done by Watson and Crick in 1953, the nucleotides that constitute the DNA are four: cytosine (C), guanine (G), timine (T) and adenine (A). When doing a model is essential to remember that cytosine ONLY joins guanine and timine only link adenine, this is due to the size and chemical properties of each molecule. Later, another related and similar and molecule was discovered, the ribonucleic acid or RNA, which also is constructed by nucleotides.

In both cases, the nucleotides are compound of 3 main components: a nitrogen base, a pentose and a phosphate. When the molecule lacks the phosphate group, is called nucleoside. Depending on the chain ( DNA or RNA) the nitrogen base derives from purine (adenine and guanine) or pyrimidine (cytosine or timine) just in the RNA instead of timine is uracil (U)

The union is established between adjacent molecules through the phosphate, while among each other through the nitrogen base-remember C=G and T or U=A. The core of each molecule is the pentose. Therefore the best representation of the molecule is attached
