Why is possible to find a unique genetic profile for an individual using the information about a relatively few SSRs?
A)There is a high variablility of SSRs in the population.
B)SSRs have a very high mutation rate in individuals.
C)SSRs inheritance follows Mendel's law of segregation.
D)Recombination during meiosis results in new combinations of SSRs in the offspring.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The high variability of SSRs (Short Sequence Repeats) in the population means that the combination of these repeats is unique to each individual, allowing for a unique genetic profile to be established with relatively few SSRs.
