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.
They also need energy to move and to stay alive
Answer:
<em>The correct option is D) the rate of photosynthesis increases and then levels off.</em>
Explanation:
Photosynthesis can be described as the process by which plants make their own food from carbon dioxide and water by using light energy from the Sun. Oxygen is produced as a by-product of this reaction.
As we increase the intensity of light, the rate of photosynthesis also increases. But after a certain time, the reaction rate will level off as there might be enough food produced or the light energy might have caused the temperature to rise which would have caused the enzymes to get denatured.
