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.

Over [174]

In areas where the walls are frequently washed, conduit should be mounted with a 1/4 inch air space between the wall and the conduit.

Conduits are the structures that are hollow and cylindrical like a pipe, channel or tube through which any material can pass. The material can be electrical wires, gases or even water. Therefore, the functions of conduits is to mediate the transport of materials from one place to another.

These conduits can be rigid or flexible depending upon their use and the material to be transported. Care should be taken when these conduits are embedded inside the wall that they are not very close and in contact with the wall otherwise the conduits may get damaged.

How do biotic and abiotic factors affect the characteristics of an ecosystem
valina [46]

Explanation:

Biotic factors such as the presence of autotrophs or self-nourishing organisms such as plants, and the diversity of consumers also affect an entire ecosystem. Abiotic factors affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce. Abiotic limiting factors restrict the growth of populations.

If a plant cell lost its plastids, what would go wrong with it
ivann1987 [24]
<span>A plant's plastids contain its chlorophyll, which enables it to photosynthesize. If it lost the plastids, it would not be able to photosynthesize, which is the only way it can get food, so it would die.</span>

Lelu [443]
A dwarf is a recessive trait. In order for the plant to be shorter, it would have to have 2 recessive alleles. The plant is also purebread so it wont contain the tall allele. The gametes that are possible are tt.
