Microsatellites are also called short tandem repeats (STRs), and they are typically present in non-coding regions. STR-based technology is the most reliable method of DNA biometrics in our time. DNA typing is used to establish parent-child relationship as well. Assume that a couple is expecting a child. The man has 11 and 14 repeats of AAGT at the TPOX locus on his homologous 2nd chromosome pair, and the woman has 6 and 10 repeats of AAGT at the TPOX locus on her homologous 2nd chromosome pair. What TPOX repeat combination cannot be their child's TPOX repeat pair?

MCQs on the use of numerous methods and biological techniques such as FISH, RNAi, PCR, Western blotting, microarrays, and others to enhance scientific research, medicine, and engineering. Also covers how biotechnology and its techniques can be used in plant and animal engineering, gene therapy, forensic science, environmental studies, and renewable energy.
