Answer:

The correct answer is: D. a piece of non-coding DNA consisting of 2–5 repeating sequences of base pairs.

Explanation:

STRs, abbreviated from Short Tandem Repeat, are microsatellites: sequences of non-coding DNA that repeat units that are 2 to 5 base pairs in length. The number of repetitions of these sequences varies from people to people, which gives it a significant importance in the fields of forensics, where is used to identify a person.

Non-coding DNA is a sequence that will not translate into any protein. Half of our DNA is made of non-coding DNA.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

No matter how many factors are in the cross, if an 2 purebred (homozygous individuals) are crossed, (one dominant, one recessive) the dominant phenotype will always be displayed.

Imagine a cross with between two individuals true breeding for 6 traits. One shows all dominant genotypes, one shows all recessive genotypes. The only gametes those individuals can pass on will always produce heterozygotes.

AABBCCDDEEFFGG x aabbccddeeffgg

The first individual can only give ABCDEFG alleles. The second individual can only give abcdefg alleles. Therefore, all offspring will be AaBbCcDdEeFfGg, and will therefore express the dominant trait.
