Answer:
C. a string of nucleotides that can be used as a template to produce a RNA that codes for a protein.
Explanation:
A gene is a specific sequence of DNA containing genetic information required to make a specific protien and is a string of nucleotides (DNA in cells) that can be used as a template to produce a RNA (by transcription) that codes for a protein. The produced RNA might be the end product (for example some transfer RNA's) or might be further translated into a protein. An organism's entire complement of DNA is its genome.
Answer:
The answer would be A because it would decrease
The correct answer is C. Short tandem repeats are mostly different in unrelated peoples' DNA. Therefore, it is used to match the DNA of the people of the related family for identification of bodies, during a mass disaster like World Trade Centre. DNA from the nucleus is extracted in the process, and the STR containing regions are amplified and studied and can be matched with that of the relatives.
