If you add the amount of protons with the amount of neutrons, you get the atomic mass. Sodium has 11 protons, and 12 neutrons. 11+12=23

So other scientists can try the exact same experiment and see if they both got the same results.
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.
