Answer: Ok So A short tandem repeat is a microsatellite with repeat units that are 2 to 7 base pairs in length, with the number of repeats varying among individuals, making STRs effective for human identification purposes.STRs are extremely useful in applications such as the construction of genetic maps (49), gene location, genetic linkage analysis, identification of individuals, paternity testing, as well as disease diagnosis 50., 51.. STR analysis has also been employed in population genetics.

Hope this helps have a awesome night/day❤️✨
