Answer:
C. Is a repeated sequence of DNA in a non- coding sequence
D. Can be composed of a variable number of repeats in different people
Explanation:
Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) are short DNA motifs, i.e., short nucleotide repeat units (generally 2-7 base pairs in size) that may have a different number of repeats among individuals (alleles). Polymorphic STR sequences are very useful genetic markers and therefore they are used for different purposes, e.g., for constructing genome linkage maps, identification of individuals and/or populations, paternity testing, etc. For example, in the USA, the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) is a databank that stores different DNA profiles based on 13 core STR <em>loci</em> which are used in forensic identity testing.
Answer:
Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A is caused by is caused by Hepatitis A virus which infects the liver and causes an inflammation.
The virus for Hepatitis A is spread through eating or drinking something contaminated with fecal matter and it is highly contagious.
However, it is preventable by vaccination.
Since it is a food borne disease which is highly contagious, a food handler has to be excluded from operation and a medical practitioner has to determine when the person can resume to avoid further transmission.
I guess the appropriate answer is C !
