At STR-1,an individual has an allele with a frequency of 0.08.At STR-2,the allele has a frequency of 0.03.At STR-3,the allele has a frequency of 0.05.At STR-4,the allele has a frequency of 0.01.Assuming that the alleles at each of these STRs are inherited independently from one another (i.e. ,that the allele at any given STR is not dependent on the alleles at any of the other STRs),the probability that an individual will have all of these alleles is about 1 in
A) 1,000.
B) 10,000.
C) 100,000.
D) 1 million.
E) 1 billion.

The probability of having all these alleles is the product of their individual frequencies: 0.08 * 0.03 * 0.05 * 0.01 = 0.00000012, which is approximately 1 in 1 million.

At STR-1,an Individual Has an Allele with a Frequency of 0.08.At
