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.

<h2>Disruptive Selection.</h2>

Explanation:

Disruptive selection is also known as Diversifying selection.

Disruptive selection helps in determining the changes which is seen in population genetics,

The disruptive selection favours those individuals which have the smallest and largest values of the trait or characteristics.
These individuals possess the highest fitness.
The individuals which have an intermediate values have lower fitness.
The example of Disruptive selection is seen in Male lazuli buntings Feather colour which is also kown as Passerina amoena.
Passerina amoena is a bird species which is native to North America.

AVprozaik [17]

Catalysis An enzyme may catalyse a reaction by stressing or destabilizing the bonds of the substrates. This point in the enzymatic reaction is known as the Transition State. An enzyme can couple a nonspontaneous reaction to a spontaneous reaction so that anabolic processes will occur.
