Answer 12

strs can be located at thousands of locations within the human genome.

Question 13

research has shown that these non-coding DNA regions have a higher rate of _____________compared to other regions of our DNA which leads to more genetic ____

Answer 13

higher rate of mutation compared to other regions of our dna, which leads to genetic diversity more among humans
