The size of Microsatellite repeat sequence is:

A
<1 kb
B
2-6 bp
C
1-3 kb
D
>3 kb
High-Yield Explanation
Ans: b. 2-6 bpsequences of 2-5 bp repeated up to 50 times. May occur at 50000-100000 locations in the genome"-Harper 30th/377-78, 28th/404Sho (2-6 bp), inherited, tandem repeat units of DNA occur about 50,000-100,000 times in the human genome.Because they occur more frequently--and in the view of the routine application of sensitive PCR methods--they are replacing RFLPs as the marker loci for various genome searches.
