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.

Answer:
Neurotransmitters
Explanation:
Neurotransmitters are the chemicals present in the body used for the propagation of action potential. These neurotransmitters are also known as the body chemical messengers.
Neurotransmitters are stored in the neural cells. These chemicals are generally released when the cell is stimulated by the specific signal. The effect of neurotransmitter may be excitatory or inhibitory.
Thus, the answer is option (4).
Answer:
Alternation of generation with both sexual and asexual
Explanation:
In mosses, the dominant plant is called a gametophyte while in ferm the dominant is sporophyte. Gametes are produced by the gametophyte and fertilization occurs forming an embryo. The embryo develops into a plant called the sporophyte.
Answer:
Tofu and soy oil come from soy bean plants that are grown on farms. Many farmers grow soy beans as cash crops that they can send to places such as tofu processing plants. Soybean plants are legumes. Legumes have bacteria on nodules which are on the roots of the plant. The bacteria on the nodules takes nitrogen from the air and fixes it into the soil, so that other plants that require nitrogen can use it as well.
This nitrogen cycle that was breifly discussed above is used in what farmers call a crop rotation. Farmers use soybeans and other legumes in roatations with grass crops such as corn or wheat. Grass crops are unable to take their own nitrogen from the air so they either need the nitrogen in the soil that the legumes provide for them in a crop rotation or they need a chemical fertilizer containing nitrogen. Many farmers choose to use both. Most farmers use a two or four year rotation on their fields. In a two year rotation a farmer will alternate a year of a legume such as soybeans and a year of a grass crop such as corn. In a four year rotation a farmer will alternate back and forth between legumes and grass crops just as in a two year rotation, but instead he will use four differnt crops. For example, a farmer may plant a rotation of soybeans, corn, alfalfa (a legume), then wheat (a grass).
