How do transposable elements and short tandem repeats (STRs) differ? a. STRs occur within exons; transposable elements occur wit
Allisa [31]

Transposable elements and short tandem repeats are different because short tandem repeats make up only a small percentage of a given genome while transposable elements often make up larger parts of a genome. So the correct option is C.

<h3>What are transposable elements? </h3>

Transposable elements or transposons are a class of genetic elements. They can  “jump” from one location to another, in a genome.

Even though they are called “jumping genes,” they have an integrated site in a genome and are maintained there. Also, most of them are eventually inactivated and can not move any longer.

Whereas Short tandem repeats or STRs are short repeats of DNA. They are also known as microsatellites or simple sequence repeats. They have a repetitive unit of 1-6 bp and form a series of 100 nucleotide lengths.

Therefore the correct option C.

Helppp, i’m going to fail:(
Westkost [7]
Don’t worry this is pretty easy :)

The answer is -
50% recessive alleles
50% dominate alleles

explication- find out what alleles you’re working with (heterogeneous and homogeneous)
[heterogeneous is 1 dominant and 1 recessive- homogeneous is 2 of the same alleles they can be dominant or recessive]
We’re working with a parent with heterogeneous and another parent with recessive homogeneous.

draw a allele chart
__
|_|_|
|_|_|
they look like this and take your first parents alleles and put them at the top

L s
_ _
|_|_|
|_|_|

it should look like this, then take your parent with both recessive and put them vertical to the box

L s
_ _
s |_|_|
s |_|_|

it should look like this, now you drag one letter down and one letter across for each box

L s
__ __
s|Ls|ss |
s|Ls|ss |
— —
it’s should look like this when they’re done, i think you’re doing a grade below me in biology so the ratio should be 50/50 for both phenotype and genotype.

TRY TO LEARN THE VOCABULARY IT HELPS A LOT AND BASICALLY TELLS YOU THE ANSWERS!
GOOD LUCK :)
