Which of the following is true for microsatellite loci?
a. are typically found in centromeres and telomeres
b. are typically made up of 1-4 bp repeat units
c. can be made up of tandemly arranged rRNA genes
d. can decrease in unit number during DNA replication
e. two of the above
I believe b is true…but can someone give me their opinion for d??
Thanks so much
Ok…I thought that they could decrease. But I’m stuck on the wording…could it mean anything? Is there a difference between unit number and repeat number?
