D) electrophoresis.
E) PCR.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microsatellite analysis does not require knowing the sequence of the repeat units in the microsatellite. It primarily relies on the knowledge of the sequence of flanking markers to design primers for PCR, which amplifies the region of interest. The polymorphism detected is due to variations in the length of the DNA segment between the flanking regions, which is analyzed through electrophoresis.
