Answer:
The number of STR repeats is unique and therefore it is considered as an allele of that <em>locus</em>
Explanation:
Short Tandem Repeats (STRs), also known as microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are short DNA sequences with a size of 1-6 nucleotide bases which may be many times repeated in tandem. STRs localize in specific regions of the genome (<em>loci</em>) and therefore they are molecular markers. Gel electrophoresis a technique used to separate DNA fragments based on their size. In consequence, the pattern of STR repeats or 'alleles' obtained by electrophoresis can be used to identify individuals. In a gel electrophoresis, STR markers produce different bands that run more slowly or faster on the gel in different lanes according to their size (e.g., more slowly >> higher size of the STR sequence), and thereby STR alleles are unique and serve to identify individuals.
Well, an endoskeleton is an internal skeleton, like humans have.
Pro: Bones do not get broke as easily, since they are inside of the body. Bones that break also heal more quickly in an endoskeleton, since they have tissue and blood surrounding it and transferring nutrients.
Con: The flesh can get easily damaged. There is no shedding with endoskeletons, so a new skeleton cannot be grown in the event of an injury.
Phenotype - short , Tall
Genotype - tt (short) , TT or Tt (tall)
<u>Explanation:</u>
In Mendelian Genetics, <em>Dominant traits</em> are represented by capital letters and <em>Recessive traits</em> are represented by small letters.
So if height is the character considered, then the traits would be short and tall.
Tall is the dominant phenotype and short is the recessive phenotype.
The alleles of the gene for height are T and t.
The genotype for Tall trait is TT or Tt.
The genotype for short trait is tt.
Therefore, the symbol representation of phenotype (Tall) is TT or Tt and for phenotype (short) is tt.
A is true
hope i helped :D
