MCQ
Which ones are simple sequence repeats (SSRs):
  • A
    Minisatellite sequences
  • B
    Microsatellites
  • C
    Pseudogenes
  • D
    Multiple gene family.

Answer

  1. Multiple gene family.

Explanation:

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs), sometimes described as genetic 'stutters,' are DNA tracts in which a short base-pair motif is repeated several to many times in tandem (e.g. CAGCAGCAG). These sequences experience frequent mutations that alter the number of repeats similar to Multigene Family, a set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene.
